Their margins on their enterprise cards are far far higher.
The A100 which is similar to 4090 in silicon goes for 15-20x. Nvidia is probably deriving as much profit from cloud at this point as gamers.

OpenCL is deprecated.
Apple has ditched it for metal. AMD has ditched it for ROCm which is just a AMD compiler for CUDA PTX.

Given how AMD/ATI has fared with their shitty software ecosystem after close to 20 years (the first paper on using GPUs for CNN was in '05/'06 -ish where they were using shaders), calling Nvidia 'lucky' is quite unfair.
Those of us who were unlucky enough to buy a AMD GPU based on 'flop-count' were hurt quite badly. Nvidia's software compute-infra is simply unmatched.
