I doubt NVIDIA would invest anywhere near as much on GPU applications if it weren't vendor locked.

I bet if NVIDIA significantly investing in GPU applications the competition would too.

It makes a whole lot of sense for #1 to vendorlock and #2 onwards to promote open standards. (See Microsoft circa 2001 vs. Microsoft today)

If everybody went vendor-agnostic you'd get a lot less support or you would have to find somebody else to pick up the mantle with an economic motive.
