Because Torch only exists on CUDA-platforms. At least in any useful form.
This was, if anything, the main theme at Supercomputing: “there is not even a point in talking about Nvidia’s new benchmarks. You all are going to buy it anyways” coupled with very few “we are betting on buying cheap hardware (Intel/AMD GPUs) and hope that we can build the relevant parts of CUDA ourselves” and the latter is pretty much a desperation move of labs/sites that simply cannot get NVIDIA GPUs (either price or availability).
And yes that is probably the seed of the end of Nvidia’s dominance. But it will take 20 years and multiple fuck ups. Just as it did with Intel
