Well, you have a point - but once the basics are covered (video, audio, DOM, CSS3, and Canvas), and reasonably compatibly implemented between all the browsers (and the old browser finally having died off), I do think it'll get easier, because we'll spend less time patching browser inconsistencies, and more time just building on the basics - and I do think the browser market will eventually get there (IE 10 is looking good). This also assumes performance across all the browsers and hardware platforms can reach some kind of reasonable baseline (4 core ARM9 CPUs in tablets and smartphones means much less optimization required). We are a few years off though, for sure.

If you keep your work at the cutting edge though (WebGL, etc.) you're right, it'll pretty much stay the way it is now. :-)
