I think we're well past the point AMD is the "small indie dev" to "big corpo house" Intel. If AMD refuses to do what is necessary to fully bring out the performance of their hardware, that's not on Microsoft. I see Intel Thread Director quite similarly to how hardware manufacturers provide their own drivers. Sure, Microsoft could provide some generic driver, but that's not going to make full use of that hardware because only the manufacturer fully knows what's going on.
