My experience in corporate America is that, no - it would NOT be likely that a different CEO makes the same call.

Many, especially the "non-founder" CEOs, are risk-averse.

There's likely many CUDA-like ideas from internal engineers shot-down or ignored by leadership at companies like Microsoft, Google, etc.

While Tim Cook certainly drove the valuation of Apple up during his tenure, one of the most common criticisms was that Apple stopped innovating and more recently their quality bar has been dropping.
