There are fast parallel sorting algorithms that should be able to take advantage of GPUs. Maybe they didn't implement them?

The LightGBM implementation on GPU is based on this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.08359 they use several smart techniques to make the computation faster. One is how they create histograms of features that are computed in parallel in the GPU
