Good point. However, there are some workarounds, for example one can use Cublas in Octave by linking an installed library:

There should of course be a default possibly less performant and portable option that does not need a separate installation due to licensing issues.

Octave developers are mostly not very fond of "workarounds" meant to defy the provisions of the GPL.

It might be hard to find support for the project idea and therefore a dev willing to mentor if that is the approach.
