Probably not. Google, who invented the transformer, mainly uses their own TPU's for most of their compute, even in our current NVIDIA-dominant world. Without Nvidia gobbling up the hardware market share, you'd probably see even cheaper deep-learning purposed compute and more ubiquitous generative-AI applications than there already is.
Nvidia is just the biggest player and the near-monopolist since CUDA made things a lot easier for researchers and most early deep-learning research took advantage of CUDA with the main SDK's and libraries for model-training depending on it.
Really, you should blame capitalism in general for job losses, including those lost to AI automation. The relations of production is the problem.
