Industrialization is irreversible. Mom and pop shops largely went away 150 years ago. The only reason we had them online adult was because the industry was so new - it took fifteen years for the industry to be industrialized. When I started, we were hunting and gathering Playboy scans. Now ie's a modern industry.
As in other industries, small shops will continue to serve niche markets, especially anything that can't be "factory" produced, like porn made-to-order. For general babe sites, companies like Manwin have huge advantages. The biggest advantage being that they don't have one person doing everything. For example, they can have one bookeeper for a hundred sites. The little guys would pay one bookkeeper for one site (or for five). If you have to pay a bookkeeper, or a programmer, there's a big advantage to amortizing the cost across a company the size of Manwin. They can also hire BETTER marketing people, better designers, etc. compared to the little guy trying to do it all himself. Big companies are just more efficient.
Therefore it's becoming just like any other industry - the middle class is the guy making $60,000 working at Manwin. The middle class stays, the tradesman is really a relic of the 1800s who made a brief appearance online.
