It's simple, he misidentifies the problem as such.

The problem all these AI companies have vs. Nvidia is not that nobody buys their chips because they are bad, but because nobody needs them.

GPUs on other hand sell well because, well, videogames

HPC also sells a lot of GPUs. A lot of ML folks don't seem to appreciate that neural net training (outside of Google) is actually a fairly small market for the GPU companies compared to games and simulators.
