Assuming they had fab capacity to produce a hypothetical Epyc 13912k with 4.5GHz base clock, I think AMD still nailed the revenue sweet spot with their current mix. So maybe they're not strictly leaving money on the table, so much as it is a lack of demand for a high end desktop that doubles as a server.
Intel has to produce that kind of beast because they're currently slightly behind in some areas. AMD might lose money if they followed Intel's playbook right now.

Put a 24-core in the middle for $6000 and call these the "workstation" line. At those prices there would be no money to lose because nothing close to equivalent would be cheaper, but then at least it would exist.
