My guess is it’s just incompetence. Imagine you’re in charge of ROCm and your boss asks you how it’s going. Do you say good things about your team and progress? Do you highlight the successes and say how you can do all the major things CUDA can? I think many people would. Or do you say to your boss “the project I’m in charge of is a total disaster and we are a joke in the industry”? That’s a hard thing to say.

a 10 year lead can't be closed overnight but Intel had a even larger lead and look how the mighty have fallen.

Intel was never famous for good GPUs, and they are basically the only ones still trying to make something out of OpenCL, with most of the tooling going beyond what Khronos offers.

one API is much more than a plain old SYCL distribution, and still.

> My guess is it’s just incompetence.

maybe on some level but not that level you're describing. pretty much everyone at AMD understands the situation, and has for a while.
