Indeed - Keller is a low level hardware guy, and isn't going to have much interest in model versioning...

Isn't low-level hardware really at the heart of a lot of this? Hasn't a lot of the criticism of Cuda been that it's incredibly difficult for others to implement on other hardware bc of the low-level interactions and Nvidia's usage of dark-APIs (can't recall the term i've heard used).

Wasn't this one of the reasons AMD abandoned/deprioritized their efforts on such a project?

Keller is a manager. He was a gateware engineer.
Even so his long and influential experience influences his managing and the direction of the company.
