Human species is "losing", ie evolving away from, the Y chromosome in general. Keeping up an entire Chromosome is expensive and "Inefficient" from evolution's point of view.

Human society meanwhile has disrupted a lot of "natural" processes of evolution, so I have no clue how this will play out.

Nothing’s been “disrupted”. Evolution is occurring the same way it’s always done: through random mutations in response to the environment and sexual selection.
