The only "War" was between fanboys on internet forums. The various vendors and industry professionals that I tend to listen to kept it very civil.
BCM's decision was not recent, their release of an MLOK product was. If you dig through the forum you'll find an old thread where BCM poked Magpul for not returning their communications because BCM was looking into producing MLOK in addition to their Key Mod line. The communications between both companies was very respectful with no animosity.
I do believe that the industry will slowly converge on one format due to simple economics. IMHO both vendors and consumers don't want to have stock multiple non-compatible mounts, rails and other accessories if they can avoid it. Consumers will gravitate towards one and vendors will quietly discontinue support for the system that doesn't sell.
