Even if the program sticks with Orion, I'm hoping later missions will try bidding out flights and cutting SLS out of the picture. I'm hoping that's at least part of the purpose of spinning all of SLS off into a commercial entity.
If anything, I think they're moving in the opposite direction of what you suggested for landers. They're building up an industrial base of different companies building lunar landers for cheap.
