I think you are oversimplifying. You've chosen arbitrary abstraction layer. It's like saying it's just transistors again. Or it's just machine learning. It matters what they can deliver and Jim's track record is best in the whole industry. I think they have a pretty good understanding what's the best approach to bring outstanding results given technology available plus I think currently they want to deliver something to get connected with decent clients and then be able to optimize for actual real world use cases. I'd love to see chips made out of millions of small computing blocks, neuron alike, without a common clock, with local memory, maybe even with some analog electronics involved. But I'm pretty sure people who are actually working on this kind of stuff could provide me a list of reasons why it's silly (at least given current technology limitations).
