Yes, but no customer wants to give Nvidia monopoly money forever either. So like it or not they need alternatives.

From a datacenter, edge and industrial application perspective though, I think those crowds are content funding an effective monopoly. Hell, even after CUDA gets dethroned for AI, it wouldn't surprise me if the demand continued for supporting older CUDA codebases. AI is just one facet of HPC application. We'll see where things go in the long-run, but unless someone resurrects OpenCL it feels unlikely that we'll be digging CUDA's grave anytime soon. In the world where GPGPU libraries are splintered and proprietary, the largest stack is king.
