It's like someone builds a CPU with a floating point unit specifically aimed at CAD software. Then someone else comes and builds a floating point unit for physics simulation. Then someone else ...
The history of GPGPU in a nutshell…
There are a few “generic compute models” but no incentive for the GPU manufacturers to support them over their proprietary model. Everyone could natively support Cuda and Vulcan and Metal and OpenCL and SPIR-V and…think I’m forgetting one but you get the point.
