Their drivers might work, but saying to users "here, load this giant blob with a history of privesc bugs into your kernel" isn't what I'd call "supporting Linux".

Meanwhile, AMD are active contributors to Mesa and DRM, which benefits everyone.

I wish they'd open things up too, but it's there prerogative, and Linux repesents a minuscule share of their market. The fact that they support it in the way they do today is surprising.
