Oh gosh. Forgot all about that shit. No thanks.

Do AMD not realise that Linux/Privacy nerds stuck with them regardless for years. Would they have survived without that loyalty?

By themselves, no.

But they're the people friends and family ask for help when deciding to buy a computer. It's why Intel has slumped. Most people don't know what a CPU does, so that's not why they're picking Intel or AMD - they're choosing based off recommendations from more knowledgeable people.

For many years AMD was uncompetitive compared to Intel / Nvidia. Intel had 80% of the market at one point. It probably would have died off if it wasn't for folk that wanted Linux compatibility. Many run FOSS because of privacy. Linux is a key part of that.
