There's a very good chance that the whole thing would have come down in a heap. Some other company would have bought the remainder for a low price for the IP and patents, and today we'd be asking " What ever happened to Acorn?
One can only ever work in terms of odds. Sometime being in the right place at the right time can make a world of difference. If you subscribe to the multiverse theory, there is a universe out there where most of us are using one of the Acorn 'Piglet' series of consumer computers. The 'Wild Boar' professional series of workstations and portables are for pro-sumers and gamers. And Acorn's 'OakGrove' network is the most popular way to access information and stay in touch with people all over the world.
