So, no, we're not going to support/use CUDA in any foreseeable future.

For ATI, PhysX is a proprietary solution much like CUDA. What you and Rollo are suggesting is not logical from a business perspective. Proprietary solutions shut the door on ever having flexibility or scalibility that is desired by companies striving to be the best at what they do.
