Nikon used to have their IS in the body, and they switched. Doesn't it seem
unlikely that they'd switch back?

If your argument is that Nikon switched so that they could build more
expensive lenses, that strikes me as far-fetched. It would be giving up a
competitive advantage they might have had vs. Canon.
