I think here it's more a question of compatibility (that is ~ 1.0 /
[magnitude of effort]), rather than corporate selfishness >:) Consider
memory buffers implementation - counter to CUDA in OpenCL they are
some abstract containers, not plain pointers (cl_mem). So, to combine
OpenCL with MPI, one first need to propose and adopt suitable API
design solution. At least this one is not an easy task, IMO.
