It's not pure luck tho. The GPGPU research started in early 2000s IIRC. Nvidia had invested into it earlier than anyone and more than anyone. That's how they got CUDA. Nvidia was ready for the next generation computing. It's just that no one, including Nvidia, knew when it's gonna hit the market.

In consumer graphics cards yes, compute in graphics chips is as old as the games industry, see chips like TMS34010.
