The Intel one has a known technique to disable the ME, the AMD one does not (for the moment).

However, disabling it is not trivial, needing to open your laptop and solding skills, also special equipment to read/write modified firmware.

You don't need soldering skills (at least for the device I use), but I agree it's not trivial. However, a nontrivial fix is still a significant improvement over a nonexistent one.
