"makes sense as a GPU workload" is underselling it a bit. Doing it on the CPU is basically insane. Games typically upscale only the world view (the expensive part to render) while rendering the UI at full res. So to do CPU-side upscaling we're talking about a game rendering a surface on the GPU, sending it to the CPU, upscaling it there, sending it back to the GPU, then compositing with the UI. It's just needlessly complicated.
