Disclaimer: I f***ing love AMD.
But... between mindshare, supply constraints, and OEMs being slow to make compelling products with AMD, it takes a long time to switch large numbers from Intel to AMD.
With AMD laptops, you'll struggle to find the ideal combination of display (resolution, quality, brightness), ports (Thunderbolt) and other attributes. They only got high-end discrete GPUs and 4K screens this year. And often not in the same machine. Thunderbolt is technically available for AMD platforms now, but still exceedingly rare.
For desktop, yes... I switched to AMD fifteen years ago and I haven't looked back. That's as someone who builds their own.
In the consumer space (outside DIY), desktops are like laptops. You need to find OEMs putting things together in the right configuration. Not to mention selling them at your local Best Buy for a mainstream consumer to come across it and pick it up. And not turn away because it's missing the "Intel Inside" sticker seared into their brain from decades of marketing.
