  Whether one agrees with this assessment will be a matter of philosophical temperament, in particular of one's willingness to tolerate subjective probabilities in one's account of evidential relations.  It will also depend crucially on the extent to which one is convinced that likelihoods are better known and more objective than ordinary subjective probabilities.  Cases like the one envisioned in the law of likelihood, where hypotheses deductively entails a definite probability for the data, are relatively rare.  So, unless one is willing to adopt a theory of evidence with a very restricted range of application, a great deal will turn on how easy it is to determine objective likelihoods in situations where the predictive connection from hypothesis to data is itself the result of inductive inferences.  However one comes down on these issues, though, there is no denying that likelihood ratios will play a central role in any probabilistic account of evidence.
