Isn't amd in a pretty bad position with display related tech?

Hdmi rejected them, display port isn't ubiquitous enough, thunderbolt (usb c) is owned by Intel.

USB-C is distinct from Thunderbolt. And Thunderbolt itself got rolled into USB4 which is now an industry standard rather than one controlled by Intel.

Even so, Intel and AMD aren't so hostile to each other to avoid cross-licensing when it's mutually beneficial. A lot of the newest generation of AM5 motherboards actually include an Intel chipset for handling Thunderbolt/USB4.
