Not every scenario for such chips is a smartphone, but as you said, AMD could as well develop their own modem.

I would prefer them to start with WiFi though, since Intel made their latest chips impossible to use with AMD CPUs.

The problem is whether it's worth doing. As opposed to: putting the same amount of effort into CPU/GPU/NPU development and getting a better return.

That didn't work out well when Intel tried it.

What exactly went wrong?

Seems more like a symptom of Intel's general issues, not of this being useless. But who knows.

I agree though that Qualcomm is causing a lot of anti-competitive problems.
