They'd better. Deafblind people kind of depend on it.

And a lot of braille readers use their mobile devices as a primary way to connect to books and other braille media. It would be absolutely terrible to lose that.

There is currently a push for OSs having more accessibility bult into them, rather than less. Both iOS and Android do, and I doubt they will remove them unless there is a massive fundamental shift.

Why is there support today? Well. I assume it's because they want to offer as many customers as possible the possibility to use their products.
Will they change that? Only if they also in the process want to force users to instead use a competitive brand.
I find it very hard to believe that any of he mobile platforms feel any kind of joy in supporting external Braille displays, only to decide one day that it's not worth the hassle, toss all the code out and force a lot of reasonable pleased customers to instead start using the competitors products.
Braille displays is one of those times when a technology being supported is very hard linked to if you at all offer services to a specific user group.

I don't see any reason why they would drop it.
