But AMD has been making leaps and bounds improving their GPU software

They are still largely shitting the bed here. Their ROCm installer won't run on Ubuntu 25.04 last time I checked, and the 9070xt won't work on OSs that ROCm DOES support because the kernel and graphics stack is too old.

ROCm has been "almost ready" to be a drop-in replacement for CUDA for almost a decade. I feel like it literally would take nvidia ceasing to exist to give them the critical mass to push it over the finish line

Nvidia ceasing to exist is exactly what I'm talking about here.
When people have no choice they'd make ROCm work. It'll take some extra effort, but it would get the job done just fine.
