It's more due to ineptitude of competition. If AMD shipped second, but better product it would be another thing but it is still a bit of a mess of an ecosystem on AMD side

It's not AMD's responsibility to dethrone Nvidia any more than it is Apple's. AMD sells CDNA, but the momentum is with CUDA and Khronos can't get anyone to sit at the same table anymore.

It isn't their responsibility, but it doesn't make sense to argue that being first got NVIDIA a multitrillion dollar market if the others aren't even trying to compete. There is no "first" if it's really just "only one even trying".

The momentum is with CUDA because CUDA is the most broadly usable one. Especially with AI-driven optimization loops and similar APIs, competitors can more easily pick up momentum, if they'd actually try.
