Good luck enforcing those software parents though in the current environment. My sense is that hardware companies put more faith in the enforceability of patent claims to something like CUDA than software companies with experience with litigating patent claims to APIs would. Post Oracle v. Google, something like CUDA is vulnerable to being knocked off.

And FWIW, that seems to be a reasonable result given the overall market structure at the moment. Having all eggs in the Nvidia basket is great for Nvidia shareholders, but not for customers and probably not even for the health of the surrounding industry.
