Actually from what I could gather, FreeSync is basically DP Adaptive sync, with some logic in the drivers. On the hardware side nothing proprietary is there. It apparently also is cheaper to implement than G-Sync. In the end usually the cheaper more versatile solution will win out. It also will depend on Intel which have about 70% of the graphics chip market due to their integrated graphics if this solution will win out or not. But for the monitor manufacturers adding FreeSync / DP Adaptive sync to a monitor is a no brainer GSYNC however needs some custom hardware logic from NVidia which is rather expensive hence the steep prices for G-Sync atm.
