Predicting the future is a hard thing. It could be the future or something else might pop up that becomes the new hotness.
Having seen cycles like this over and over. Some project develops over decades which included many corner cases that need covered. It then becomes difficult to work with or adapt to some newer "things" (in this case modern gpus).
