Apple is very invested in Thunderbolt 3 which AMD chips can't provide.

AMD motherboards can do TB3.

https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X570%20Taichi/#Specification Supports an add-in card (connector). It's coming more generally since Intel dropped the licensing fees for TB. But yeah, only a few AMD boards do it (without hacks).

Isn't the newest USB standard just Thunderbolt with different name?
