Your reasoning is based on a bunch of misconceptions.
1. The format of your native raw file is not a bit less safe than DNG against getting out of date.
2. DNG is *zero* help when processing unreadable files.
3. DNG is NOT a raw converter.
There are a few legitimate reasons of converting native raw files to DNG:
1. If your choice of raw processor does not support the native format. This is a catch (as designed) of PS and LR: if your camera is a new model, you have to have the newest version of PS or LR - or you have to convert the raw file in DNG.
2. If you can't stand the sidecar files containing the adjustments (I love them), and you realize how rubbish the concept of the central database of ACR for the adjustment is, then you convert to DNG and can store the adjustment parameters within the file.
3. If your camera does not create an acceptable compressed format of the raw data and you want to save space on hard disk even at this absurd price, you can use DNG as a space saver.
