CUDA's value is install base and ecosystem, not just kernels

CUDA's enduring value comes from three reinforcing factors: a rich ecosystem where every framework works and bugs are more likely in your code than the stack; the largest install base of hundreds of millions of GPUs across every cloud and device; and ubiquity across all clouds and on-prem—so software written for CUDA runs everywhere, making it invaluable even though some customers write their own kernels.
