AMD is not going down the path of ROCm; perhaps they claim to do so, but as evidenced by the lack of both effort and results, they clearly are not.
The parent post is surprised that they still aren't making the appropriate investments to make it work. They kind of started to do that a few years ago, but then it fell on the wayside without reaching even table stakes, which in my opinion would require providing a ROCm distribution that works out of the box for most of their recent consumer cards (i.e. those cards which the enthusiasts/students/advocates/researchers might use while choosing which software stack to learn, and afterward base corporate compute cluster purchasing decisions on whether they support the software they wrote for e.g. CUDA+Pytorch), and they seem to be failing at that.
