No.
While a single dominant game system is great for bringing people into the hobby (supposedly - though I know of a fair number of people whose first RPG was a White Wolf Game or Mutants and Masterminds.), I appreciate the diversity of products that a mixed market encourages.
Case in point: right now I'm using Warhammer FRP 3E to run a sandbox game based on Paizo's Kingmaker mixed with a slurry of old-school dungeons. I'm also patronizing the new 4E Open Design project, and might incorporate parts of it into said sandbox.
More game systems (and more companies making them) makes for better and more diverse products.
