I do not like the term 'Pro Tools Killer' because it suggests one has to die for the other to live , i think the more options the merrier

Another very good point.
Apple doesn't have to think about 'killing' other software directly. All they, or anyone for that matter, have to do is make an 'insanely great' application that does everything that is required in its specific field of activities. The market will decide, as it always does, and they all know that.
Creative professionals are typically very discerning buyers when it comes to the core software they use for their primary creative work. They know what they want/need and like - you can't trick them with stupid marketing and gimmicks.
The Logic team knows full well what the stakes are and what the greatest DAW should/could be. They've got the best possible OS to work with as a base, unbelievable hardware advances, which opens up unlimited possibilities, and they're certainly not struggling for financial resources. And they've got the inside track on everything that Apple is doing that could impact them. It doesn't get much better than that.
There will always be 5-7 pro level DAWs, with the top 3 setting the standards. Competition is good, and doesn't always result in the demise of the lesser products.
