This is true in general but this particular statement appears out of date:
’Alternative computing architectures, such as parallel digital computers have not tended to be commercially viable”
That was true perhaps circa 2000, but we hit a speed/heat wall and since then everything has been going parallel.
You may see something similar happen eventually with analog computing once the market for statistical inference computation is large enough and or we approach other constraints similar to the speed/heat wall.
