> nobody is going to say "but we've used Intel for a decade, how can we suddenly switch to AMD?!".

Actually, that is the case, it will take about 1-2 hardware generations of customers _asking_ for AMD before it's featured prominently by any vendor (except the extreme ones like SuperMicro)

If nobody is actually calling their HP/Dell reps asking for it then it will never happen.

Fortunately that already happened; HPE and Dell have Epyc servers that are comparable quality to their Xeon servers.
