You seem like you're being purposefully obtuse about this, so I'm going to disengage after this. But, generally speaking, a programming language which compiles to machine code which is executed directly by the CPU is widely considered to have a significantly different architecture than one which is compiled to byte code to be executed by a virtual machine. This architectural choice has many downstream ramifications. And the difference in execution model between CPUs and GPUs is similar in nature and comes with similar ramifications. Such as, for example, operating system support for GPUs.

Being obtuse is when you don't accept currently popular bounds of abstractions are God given axioms.
