Nvidia has been working hard(er than their competition) on the software side for almost 2 decades to be in the position they find themselves today. 16 years ago, they released CUDA for general-purpose computing on GPUs, and then 9 years ago they followed that up with cuDNN. They have a consistent pattern of making a intentional, long-term bets to diversify their market exposure and unlock new product areas while building a software ecosystem moat.
Yes, they obviously got super lucky with the cryptocurrency frenzy, but there's a reason all the miners were mostly buying Nvidia cards instead of AMD cards.
