Well I blame our legislators, our regulators, and a public who tolerates low integrity, low competence leadership. A society gets what it pays for with the standards it sets for its leaders.

You don't seem to know what Khronos even is, at this point. It is a nonprofit consortium, joining the group for the community effort is the only reason it exists.

By blaming Khronos you're really just reiterating blame on Intel and AMD with the tacit inclusion of Apple. I suppose you could blame Nvidia for not giving away their IP, but they were a staunch OpenCL supporter from the start.
