Nope. As soon as the HF users reach a certain level of decline,
the FCC will auction-off the HF band for use in WI-FI local

Count on it.

I agree! Less flame-thrower interference also.
Maybe one day we will experience the bands as they were before the cold war
and proliferation of high powered SW transmitters.
