Could quickly change if open alternatives were suddenly more popular or with stuff like ZLUDA

if your castle had a moat like CUDA....
How's Microsoft's Direct3D moat working out for them now? It's turned out to have been much less of a moat than it once was. Triple-A titles that are developed for Windows using Direct3D 12 are getting support on Linux through Proton within days of release, or even at launch sometimes.
CUDA isn't even a moat for inference, only for training.
