I can understand wanting to prioritize support for the cards people want to use most, but they should still plan to write software support for all the cards that have hardware support.

I ran this on an 5600 XT, just recently switched to nVidia.
It is clear that AMD's approach isn't working and they need to change their balance.
(Okay, maybe their super high end unobtanium-level GPUs are better hardware-wise. Don't know, don't care about enterprise-only hardware that is unbuyable by mere mortals.)
But that's why my business exists... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42759191
The fact support still isn't there, they've had 2 years since Stable Diffusion to get a serious team up and shipping and they still don't even have enough resources pointed at this to not have to be asking what should be prioritized.
The only way to fix their culture/priorities is to stop buying their cards.
AMD are smart, and they solve big problems in ways that are baffling to many. They're very sensitive to moats and position themselves with products or frameworks to drain them.
I consider their primary product "engineering competence as a service", but when no one external picks up the reigns, they don't try very hard to play market maker. I remember when Intel's R&D budget was more than AMD's market cap– they're effective both at and when running lean.
The reality here is that people don't have grievances with CUDA and Nvidia aren't doing anything egregious with it. But whether that's due to ROCm's existence... we can only speculate.
Correct. Lots of people also developed specifically for Internet Explorer too.
They are a monopoly and if that is important to you, then you'll want alternative solutions to avoid putting all your eggs in one basket.
People have short term memory loss and forget that just a few months ago, H100's were impossible to get and the price skyrocketed. Given the "insane demand" of Nvidia compute (and compute in general), these sorts of supply/demand issues will be indefinitely ongoing. How many times will people need to get burned until they start to seek alternatives? Hard to say...
Roadmap: 3 to 5 years.
