Most people who utilize this hardware aren't programming kernels directly for the GPU, they're using abstraction layers like pytorch, tensorflow, etc. For the developers of those type of frameworks, cuda itself offers a lot of libraries like cublas.

There's relatively few people capable of implementing these frameworks without a solid cuda-like foundation, and those that do exist would need a very strong incentive to do it.
