Yeah, and that reason is that Nvidia managed to achieve vendor lock-in with CUDA - which is not generally regarded as a good thing, but it was certainly good for Nvidia.

Survivorship bias is another explanation. NVDA wasn't worth nearly so much before AI took off.
Arguably ATI is still around, wedded to AMD.
3dfx, Matrox, S3, ATI, and Cirrus were also in the right place at the right time, but there's a reason we're here talking about Nvidia and not them. How much was Jensen vs things out of his control, few people will ever know.
