I find WebGPU interesting as an extension of HTML5; I think HTML5 offers features that are not being taken advantage of by mainstream websites. I think HTML5 is interesting because, as a software engineer, it's a set of tools I can build something with. LLMs are not interesting to me because they're simply a product to use or consume. They're not terribly interesting to interface with because the commercial ones simply sit behind an HTTP API, so the only thing to do with them is send them different prompts, which is, again, uninteresting.
