Video is superior on mirrorless though.

That's not because of the cameras being mirrorless; it's because (for Canon anyway) they purposely gimp video on their DSLRs to get you to buy their Cine-EOS cameras.
Which is why all the kids these days are using Magic Lantern and unlocking the actual potential of DSLRs by shooting uncompressed 14-bit "raw" video.
Not working though is it? Mirrorless are making huge strides in video
Strides which do not result from them being mirrorless. You should understand that the mirror does not get involved at all when doing video with a DSLR. So, all of these 'strides' can and have been replicated in the next version of the cameras.
I'm not sure what your point is - it's mirrorless that have really pushed the tech on here at least at the cheaper end of the market. It's my understanding that Lumix G range for example has been widely adopted for video in a way that SLR has not. Are you saying these users will defect to SLR with a new generation? Can't really see why, since all that going SLR would do is introduce some extra mechanics they don't need.
