I agree with you. Kind of apps / market that VFP caters to, is not all that latest-interface-theme-style but rather business oriented.
It will last for as long as those apps are serving businesses sufficiently so they DO NOT have to purchase full rewrites. (Which we all know is extremely expensive). So be that current desktop or in virtual machines I would give it no less then 20 years.

However, my bet is that within 5 years max we will see fully functional replacement for VFP which will work on more then one platform.
It will happen. One vendor or another.
