It's fairly standard for rendering/games engines to support native graphics apis, they're built to be cross platform.

Not to mention machine learning is a totally different market, using OS X on workstations would be counterproductive as there isn't any feasible server solutions to run production data on.

Also the Tegra chips aren't irrelevant, they're powering the switch and extremely popular for drone/robotics application processors.
