Is a new "dream lens" 50mm 0.95 probably coming next year?

I dont like those kind of lens, cause everything is out of focus.

A wide-open aperture setting will limit the Depth Of Field, so that only a very thin “slice” of a three-dimensional scene will be in focus, but, of course, this can be used creatively. Stopping-down the aperture will increase the Depth Of Field, bringing progressively more of “everything” into focus.

Also, the perceived depth of field may not actually be that small in some circumstances even wide open. As an example, while taking a landscape photo where even the closest elements are 50 meters away, a 50mm f/0.95 can do that wide open, with corner sharpness being probably a bigger limitation than depth of field.
