My take at this is because of inertia. I have a large fleet of servers that have been Intel since forever. I see no reason to migrate them today as things work reasonably well. We upgrade the hardware every 4-5 years. So during the next upgrade for sure I'll choose AMD, there is no question of that. ARM will be a serious competitor and RISC-V, too, that's for sure - but they are just not there yet when we talk about maximum performance (in our case, energy consumption is not the main concern)
