I agree that endusers won't be too happy with this projects, but companies might be, if they need a (not too powerful) video core.

  If you're a company you can already license plenty of GPU IPs for use in your SoC (in RTL form or otherwise). If you look at the various tiers of this kickstarter you can see you'll have to go up to 600k$ to fund a proper ARM SoC 3D IP with AXI support. And since it's a kickstarter you have absolutely no way of knowing what the end product will look like. I can't imagine any company betting that much money for RTL code with absolutely no warranty about what the end result will look like and if it's going to even fit in your SoC. And the code being open source is actually not an advantage since it means all other constructors can then integrate the same GPU in their designs for free. If it gets funded and it ends up working correctly I'm sure many companies will be interested to try and use it in their designs but I really doubt they'd fund it.
