You’re right, but obviously the advantage that used to give them isn’t working out anymore.

AMD’s interconnect seems fast enough, and they don’t have the yield/cost problems from massive single die chips.

More importantly that they can target desktops, high end desktops, and servers with the same exact silicon. So they can amortize their R&D across more units, and of course the supply line is much simpler. So AMD doesn't have to guess ahead of time what mix of ryzen, threadripper, and epyc chips they will sell.
