AMD GPUs work great, the issue is that people don't want to mess with ROCm/HIP when CUDA is kind of the documented workflow. Along with the fact that ROCm was stagnant for a long time. AMD missed the first AI wave, but are now committed to making ROCm into the best it can be.

The other problem is that there aren't any places to rent the high end AMD AI/ML GPUs, like the MI250's and soon to be released MI300's. They are only available on things like the Frontier super computer, which few developers have access to. "regular" developers are stuck without easy access to this equipment.

I'm working on the later problem. I'd like to create more of a flywheel effect. Get more developers interested in AMD by enabling them to inexpensively rent and do development on them, which will create more demand. @gmail if you'd like to be an early adopter.
