I think that's a slightly different reason because OpenCL is just a spec with no real teeth. NVIDIA/MS have a pretty tight grip over the market both in h/w and s/w, and creating a CUDA like spec does nothing meaningful if there is no alternative source for hardware and software. Everything including drivers, libraries, compilers etc. is closed, whether it's CUDA or OpenCL. So aside from some vague promise of portability, OpenCL doesn't really open anything.
