Well this is glaringly obvious to whole world, and Nvidia managed to get it right. Surely a feat that can be repeated elsewhere when enough will is spread over some time. And it would make them grow massively, something no shareholder ever frowns upon.

I don't think they did. If you work in the space and watched it develop over the years, you can see that there's been (and still are) plenty of jank and pain points to be found. Their spread mostly comes from their dominant market position before, afaik.

    They succeeded not because they are perfect but because they are the least bad. By far.

      Also CUDA first released in 2007, I remember researching GPUs at the time and wondering what the hell CUDA was (I was a teenager). They were VERY early to the party and has A LOT of time to improve. Everyone is catching up to ~10 years of a headstart.
