Maybe I'm being rational, maybe I'm not, but I'm sure I'm not the only consumer who feels this way. I want to buy the "happy path" when I'm getting a product.

So, please explain what risks you are taking on by choosing a device that satisfies your needs but has an AMD CPU inside instead of something else.
This sentiment also caused my family to get a Pentium4 over the superior Athlon64 years back and I'm still salty.
...and the Athlon in P3 days, but that was a closer call.
...and (IIRC?) the K6 in P2 days, but that was before my time.
In retrospect, AMD's fallout past the Athlon64- and prior to the Ryzen-era is actually the odd one out in the company's history.
At most they might check if it has a graphics card, or number of cores
You rarely get consequences for buying Intel/Cisco/etc, no matter how overpriced and otherwise maladapted their products may be.
