AMD would have to license Thunderbolt from Intel, so it's unlikely.

Apparently, not: "Intel to make Thunderbolt 3 royalty-free in 2018"[1].

Why is thunderbolt such a big requirement for a NUC equivalent?

I guess external GPU as well as pro-audio equipment. NUC is super small and handy (I have 3 of them) and powerful enough CPU-wise to do almost anything.
