A Future Proof MOTHERBOARD?

oh and price?
just blow me up...
there is no such thing as "futureproof", certainly not with motherboards.... but that would basically comedown to features and socket. X299 should come with a socket and CPU list strong enough to last nearly a decade for most users, but the features on the motherboard (such as USB generation, PCIe lanes/slots/generation, M.2 functionality or other high bandwidth storage options, DDR iterations, and so on) would become outdated every couple years. theoretically with enough PCIe lanes and slots you should be able to gain much of this functionality with add-in cards as time progresses, but some things will not be upgrade-able.
I mean the sub $100 B350 Tomahawk motherboard has pretty much the same features as any premium $700 motherboard, the more expensive one just has more of the same features (and maybe a couple superfluous unique ones) but they're largely the same.
