Given how AMD/ATI has fared with their shitty software ecosystem after close to 20 years (the first paper on using GPUs for CNN was in '05/'06 -ish where they were using shaders), calling Nvidia 'lucky' is quite unfair.

Those of us who were unlucky enough to buy a AMD GPU based on 'flop-count' were hurt quite badly. Nvidia's software compute-infra is simply unmatched.

Having a competitor that seemingly refuses to compete is pretty damn lucky. There's not a single thing nVidia could have legally done to make that happen.
