None of those things has successfully built a platform in the way nvidia has with CUDA, although Microsoft is well-positioned to do it eventually. The reason you’re confused is you are thinking of the peers of NVIDIA as being AMD and Intel

there isn’t an “issue” beyond the TPM being a potential point of failure, and all x86 laptops nowadays have a similar TPM and similar point of failure. What do you think happens if your AMD cpu dies? That cpu has a pluton security module in
