I don't think there's anything bad about this. It might take a while for the
2600 homebrew scene to realign, I suppose, but if the 2600 homebrew scene ends
up similar to the 8bit scene (with a few doing professional quality games in
assembly and many more doing fun, simple stuff in BASIC) is that bad? I think
it is good.
I started programming on an 8bit (130XE) in BASIC in the mid-80s; without an
accessable language I doubt I would/could have even tried programming at all
(I was ~10 at the time).
Besides, some of my favorite 8bit games were type-in BASIC games. Probably
Casten's Rebound is still my all-time favorite 8bit game.

Hm... I personally think that a bB creation is a lot better than selling a
graphics hack, so basically we've already seen worse.
Also you should not forget that this "upcoming flood" will be compared and
judged against "normal" ASM brewed titles and I don't think they can really
compete with most of those.
