it will be much better for the coders to actually use the CPU instead of the graphics card to do Physics.

if the coders goto the graphic's card for physics, then they will need to learn nVidia's API and also ATI's API, or their game will only work for one brand...
unless DirectX or something somehow utilizes a standard physics library for both cards...

if they do it on the CPU, they just need standard x86 or x86-64 programming.
