Gaudapada uses similar reasoning because that reasoning and thought is already found in pre-Buddhist and pre-Madhyamaka Hindu writings. The earliest Upanishads state that Brahman is unborn, the Chandogya denies both that creation/modifications are real and denies that something can emerge out of nothing, Gaudapada cites these lines in his karika to show how the Upanishads right from the beginning teach non-origination. Gaudapada implies that certain Buddhists are right about this only because it's an Upanishadic idea which they picked up from the Upanishads and he also explains that the Buddhist model still doesn't make sense and that it's only the Vedantic/Upanishadic model which incorporates the Self which is really a complete and correct understanding of non-origination.
