Probably people who are using RSS will switch to some alternative client/reader and learn an important lesson about relying on "free" services.

why would you build RSS into your product at all?

The problem RSS is trying to solve, being informed about new articles (and remembering which ones you've already read), still needs some alternative solution. Neither twitter nor facebook are providing one.

I think as long as there is no superior way to keep up with different sources of information, RSS will stay alive.

It is more complicated than that. Google has a RSS history of blogs, this is not easily reproducible.
