I'm pretty sure OpenCL was just a play by Apple to standardize heterogeneous compute across different hardware companies and prevent CUDA from dominating

But then they deprecated it in favor of Metal which is just an Apple-specific thing. Probably because they were going to their own hardware anyway

So the main company pushing OpenCL is no longer pushing it, pretty sure it's dying out at this point
