How can one say this? Hashem can make Chassidim the norm tomorrow.
No, He cannot. If He did so, it would defeat the entire purpose of bechira. (Or, to put it more finely, He can, but He won’t).
In any event, I don’t understand why you think chassidus should be the default among frum Jews. Shivim Panim LaTorah and all that — and non-Chassidus is just as legitimate* as non-Chassidus.

(* You might even make the case that it’s more legitimate in that Chassidus is a relatively new phenomenon, but I’m not going to make that argument.)
