I don't think it's AMD's fault really, CUDA just as an insane amount of inertia in the space and there's a whole lot of incentive for anyone to do anything about it.
As much as I hate it I've been vendor locked to NV for years and as a result I don't really care anymore. I'll never buy a AMD card because I need to get work done and get paid. It sucks, but not enough for me to go through the pain of trying to work with the far far inferior OpenCL based software for rendering/photogrammetry etc. I don't even touch ML, but I assume the story is the same there.
What's the value proposition for writing software that works with OpenCL when your entire market already has NV cards? The price differential is tiny too, maybe if AMD came down like 30% for the equivalent computational power.
