Or it is consumer choice.

For decades, AMD/ATI have been sold to me as "like Intel/nVidia, but cheaper". I've fallen for that trick several times and I have always regretted my purchase.

AMD will never get any money from me ever again. Perhaps I'm not the only one.

The people downvoting you haven't used the older AMD Windows GPU drivers, or run heavy VR workloads on modern AMD GPUs.

I say this as an AMD fan who is very happy with my 5900X/6900XT system.

The exact reason why I stuck with Nvidia since buying a 1080. I got it for the perf, but I stayed with Nvidia for the drivers.

Can you elaborate on some of the reasons why you regretted the purchases?

CPUs: thermal issues, sometimes performance.

GPUs: terrible, awful drivers and compatibility.
