Whatever it is, as long as it's not tied to one GPU only, it could be promising. Something that's tied to Nvidia or anyone else exclusively is not good, and surely isn't democratizing anything.

How so? Change the GPU from Nvidia, and you are forced to rewrite code. That's the whole point of lock-in, it's a tax on developers. CUDA doens't guarantee you anything, if you don't stick with their GPUs.
Vulkan on the the other hand has conformance requirements.
