They had so much time to contribute but instead chose marketing and pushed into areas where they didn't really have a handle on yet. As in management didn't understand.

I mean all the datasets, dozens of libraries, stunning NN demos and training sets, TPUs (multiple versions at that!) all could've come out of the company.

Think if keras and tensor flow were from IBM. Or all those cars now running Nvidia Jetson, or mega datacenters running NV100s or Google TPUs.

Shoot they even had a chance to enhance PowerPC ICs for NNs.

Alas but nope.
