I disagree with you. AMD is running behind developers to use AMD for GPU based training. Just 1 month or so back, it announced partnership with AWS to get its GPU on the cloud.
So I would disagree with your claim about marketshare being the reason for its helplessness to create a superior developer-laptop experience.
Cluelessness? sure. But not helplessness. If it wants the developer market (versus the gamer), then it better start acting like a developer tools company...which includes cosying up to Google/Facebook/AWS/Microsoft and throwing money on ROCm. Education is one of them - https://developer.nvidia.com/educators/existing-courses ... and giving developers a generally superior development experience on the maximum number of machines is another.
Well, NVIDIA view themselves as a software company that also builds hardware.

Not sure that's the case with AMD. AMD lags behind massively when it comes to software- and developer support and I doubt that a few guys who insist on ROCm running on their APUs are in their focus.
