Nvidia loves OpenGL. They are probably the single biggest supporter of OpenGL. They have the best OpenGL driver in the industry. The president of Khronos is an Nvidia employee, as is the chair of the OpenGL working group.
CUDA is faster than OpenGL because it exposes more Nvidia proprietary features. GPU.js could add a CUDA backend for the Node version, but it wouldn't be portable to the Web or non-Nvidia GPUs.

NVidia's OpenGL and Vulkan extensions are usually born as hardware support for DirectX capabilities, and then trickle down as extensions for OpenGL/Vulkan. Also their main rendering products, like Optix, are CUDA based actually.
