The way I see it you have two groups looking for GPU support: 
those that do batch computations and those that do realtime. I 
think the latter group want "more direct access" to the hardware 
(like Metal).

I guess this solution is more for the in-between, like desktop 
apps that need  a little boost here and there. People who are not 
really into coprocessors/hardware, but sometimes need a little 
extra.
