In addition to the points already mentioned, a good bit of Apple's software depends on Intel-proprietary features, e.g. QuickSync for video encoding. So far, no macOS system ever shipped with an AMD CPU, and porting the OS and user-mode application stack is not trivial.

There must be Macs like the iMac Pro and Mac Pro that don't have Quick Sync.

You will find people using Hackintosh machines with AMD cpu's just fine (as much as fine it is possible for a Hackintosh, that is).
