1. You still need to go through a franchise dealer (in the US)
2. Even if they manage to eliminate the dealers...do you honestly think that the prices will come down? The answer is: no. The overhead has to be paid for somewhere, and that will be in the form of "no haggle pricing".

So, yes, this model is more convenient.
No, it will not lead to lower prices. If anything, it will lead to an overall increase in prices.
