I actually asked myself this once, and honestly, I could see Pantera at least embracing some metalcore elements as time went on. It's best that Pantera ended when it did, or else we'd probably see bad cop/good cop vocals plaguing all of their songs, with screamed verses and clean choruses, or vice versa. Basically Lamb of God but with singing too.
Pantera, much like Nirvana, is generally regarded as a great band because they quit before they started to pump out ****ty songs. Some may not be fans of the later albums, but they weren't awful.
