In fact MIDI 2 seems to be a thing mostly for non-kb
instruments or computer
generated material (most of which is probably using CV instead of MIDI anyway).
MIDI 1 was huge, My DX7 supported MIDI before the spec was complete. It is easy
to show off in the music store and sell. I expect the switch to MIDI 2 will be
a much longer road, very hard to show off from a keyboard.
Well thats my opinion anyway.

I watched this earlier. It seems the MMA have indeed done their homework. MIDI
1.0 is definitely not going away. The new system will be fully backward
compatible, and will negotiate for the improvements, falling back to 1.0 if no
response is seen.
