For me it's debatable that they were "behind" on GPU because I didn't need a bleeding edge gaming GPU. I only needed a GPU fast enough for spreadsheets and code editors, provided at a competitive price and power budget. Intel actually did deliver that.

Intel also had adequate software for their GPUs. They didn't mess about using binary blobs for them.

To a first approximation, no one cares about open source drivers when most PCs are running Windows and servers running Linux don’t care about Intels GPUs

I have said that their benchmark to power a desktop with Google Maps in 3D. Anything beyond that was a bonus.
