Because at the moment AMD is the least scummy of the two x86 chip manufacturers. Intel as the only feasible player in town for a good segment of time, asked premium prices for meager performance increases, generation by generation.

Mainly is just out of principle and voting with my wallet.

Exactly. If we're going to be told to vote with our wallets all the time, you better let me vote with my wallet.

I bought an ASUS ZenBook earlier this year because as much as I like Framework's product, I don't want to give Intel another dollar after they bent me over a barrel for a decade.

I was choosing AMD even when they didn't have the better processors on the market, for this very reason.
