This is not a good way to look at complex systems. Both designing a GPU chip and making it are too complex to use reductive reasoning, especially when comparing

This is not a good way to look at complex systems. Both designing a GPU chip and making it are too complex to use reductive reasoning, especially when comparing one thing to the other. It’s foolish. It doesn’t add anything to OP’s point that it took so much effort to engineer a GPU only to be messed up by a stupid connector.
