And a decade ago most users didn't need a GPU at all because they weren't doing 3D. I still have a laptop with a Vista compatibility card in it that was outdated on release because the push for using GPU accelerated graphic back ends didn't stop at the OS and everyone's grandparents also wanted to have a look at things like google earth and street view.

If and when everyone is running AI workloads, then all of the competition will need to have proper support for it.

Or at least we hope Nvidia wouldn't be left as the only vendor of modern GPUs in that case. That would be very unfortunate.
