Memristors in particular just won't happen.

But memory-centric compute didn't happen because of Moore's law. (SNNs have the problem that we don't actually know how to use them.) Now that it's gone, it may have a chance, but it still takes a large amount of money thrown into the idea and the people with money are so risk-adverse that they create entire new risks for themselves.

Forward neural networks were very lucky that there existed a mainstream use for the kind of hardware it needed.
