Too little too late.

We were stuck with intel hegemony because, IMO, windows (and they were competitive often), now the next pc might be any reasonable fast chip, or so I think, at least in some near future.

It took Intel a while to figure out that people who buy CPUs at retail (i.e. DIY segment) value sockets that last at least for a few generations.

Maybe they realized they no longer have the resources to make major design changes to their CPUs for a few years.

I am not expert, but I believe the relationship between socket specs and CPU architecture is not linear. I.e. You can have radical changes in CPU architecture, while still using the same socket.

For example, AM4 can support CPUs from Ryzen 1700X to Ryzen 5800X3D. And clearly the 5800X3D is a whole different beast from Ryzen 1700X.
