Kinda hard to do when so many GPU vendors slap their memory and power circuits all over the place. Even if the die is in the same place cooler manufacturers would need to test fit a bajillion models, and on top of that they’d need insane R&D budgets to keep up with new additions, sometimes coming years after the original gpu comes out
My concerns were more about the airflow path and less about actually interchangeable coolers, although those are a thing.
Like it just feels wrong to blast the air into a solid PCB… That’s kind of solved with flow through designs, but a tower style cooler would probably be less noisy.
