If you’re talking about what I think you are, then yeah I think that’s just how it is. Eventually the only things we’ll be able to see are the galaxies in our local super cluster (I think, this is technically outside my area) and eventually they’ll all combine into a single extremely massive galaxy.
We live in a really unique time where we can detect that the universe is both infinite, and had a beginning. Hell, we live in the only time where we can know that this time is special.
The concept of a static universe died decades ago, so I don’t think we’ll be getting away from this. I don’t really remember what time scale this is on, though if I had to guess it could be somewhere between 100’s of billions to 10’s of trillions of years.
