Probably because GPU usage up until recently was only relevant on highly specialized workloads.

Also, it’s likely because the CPU is your computer’s processor, literally, and a discrete GPU is not only optional, but you can run everything graphical on your CPU. Most CPUs have integrated GPUs and so I assume GPU usage fell under CPU usage.

There are dedicated applications for showing your independent GPU usage, such as HWInfo, RivaTuner Statistics Server, and MSI Afterburner.

The Task Manager’s GPU performance data requires a GPU driver that supports WDDM version 2.0 or above. To launch dxdiag open the start menu and simply type dxdiag.exe. Look under the Display tab, in the Drivers section for the Driver Model. Unfortunately, if you are running on an older WDDMv1.x GPU, the Task Manager will not be displaying GPU data for you.
