This is entirely the fault of the OEMs though, not AMD. It is activated on mine for example. But pretty much unusable under Linux at the moment (unless you're willing to run a custom kernel for it[0].)

AMD can demand how OEMs integrate and use their chips in their products as part of the sales agreement, same how Nvidia does. AMD could have said to every system integrator buying 7000 series chips and up, that the NPU must be active in the final product. So if the end products suck, AMD bares most of the blame for not ensuring a minimum level of QA with its integrators who release half-assed stuff since it all reflects poorly on them in the end. It's one of the reason why Nvidia keeps such a tight grip over its integrators on how their chips are to used.
