To be fair, I think the complaint of wanting more GPU and less CPU is reasonable, even in the context of the Z1 Extreme. 2 less CPU cores in exchange for more GPU cores, cache, and/or memory bandwidth would make it a more gaming oriented chip.
The RX 7600, AMD's lowest-end current-gen graphics card, has several times more CUs and memory bandwidth, so I think there's some room for improvement without undercutting their dGPU business.
The Z1 Extreme is essentially the same chip as the 7840U, AMD's highest tier U-series (15~30W) chip. In other words, it's a general-purpose design, not specifically gaming oriented.
