At the moment maybe, but owning the CPU may allow for better integration.

Imagine if AMD launch a new bus implementation from CPU to GPU. That's not something Nvidia can do by themselves. Maybe Nvidia buys Intel and does it though!

You mean a proprietary connection standard? Like G-Sync but for accelerator cards? ;)

AMD already does that, and much like G-Sync there is also an open standard (CXL) that everyone else is converging around.
