They could do that. That would eliminate Nvidia's monopoly. AMD has made gestures in that direction with Hip. But they ultimately don't want to do that - Hip support is half-assed and inconsistent. AMD creates and abandons a variety of APIs. So the conclusion is the other chip makers whine about Nvidia's monopoly but don't want to end it - they just want maneuver to get their smaller monopolies of some sort or other.

Doesn't matter if you have POWER whatever when everything's on the other thing. I get why not though, it would drag the battle onto Nvidia's home turf. At least it would be a battle though.
