Ford saw this and made the switch 15 years ago and has a big head start. Just like the camaro, the new GM motors will be too little way too late.

I’ll have to disagree with you.

The type of valvetrain really does not have much effect on the emissions. It has more to do with cylinder design & cylinder head design. The electronics will do the job of making an engine emissions compliant.

Pushrod motors will be around for a long time. Not that I am siding with GM on this, either.
