Why doesn't Adobe let the GPU do the work?

[Magedo]

1) Can anyone definitively give a link where Adobe explains how CC 2014 uses the GPU? What does their "acceleration" do these days?

2) Why doesn't the GPU get used more? A CPU is more or less a more permanent fixture on a computer, but upgrading a GPU is a lot easier. Why doesn't Adobe engineer PP to use GPUs more?

Some thoughts I had: maybe it's because people working on laptops don't necessarily have the choice to upgrade GPU? Alternatively, are CPUs more stable than GPUs?

The GPU use in PP CC is directly related to the Cuda Cores in the card. More Cuda, more GPU use.

I have a gtx 970 and in my rendering process time is cut down dramatically when I have a lot of effects piled up on my timeline but for the most part I have a smoother scrubbing experience. I only see gpu usage on gpu-z only when effects are used whether edting or rendering
