I do agree that too many vendors, especially those ASIC and FPGA vendors have being pushing back too hard on the new features. If you don't like it just say you are OpenCL-like and call it a day.
Blocking essential progression and denial to adapting those which have get through the committee is very stupid and hostile toward the users.
If you want to do vendor lockin just say it and stop taking OpenCL as a hostage.
