>I seriously doubt that Ansel or Edward would have embraced digital, had they been alive today. If both of them were still alive and active, they would certainly realize that digitally produced (inkjet printed) B&W prints do not come up to the high standards that they set with the prints that they produced in their wet darkrooms.

Pffft. Please, try not to foist your belief system onto those no longer alive. The evidence is that AA used the tools available to him--and he experimented. It is highly probable that he would be a Photoshop wiz and would be making stunning prints on an inkjet--just like many are doing now.
Wet silver printing will become an 'alternative' process--just like the processes it replaced did. I'm sure there were whiners wailing and gnashing their teeth when that awful, low-standard, imitation silver gelatin process replaced earlier ones.
I seriously doubt that Ansel or Edward would be that narrow minded.
