They're few, but they're very important, because 5 years from now, they will be the ones working for the companies that AMD will want to sell their compute cards to.

The reasons you cite may still be more important, I'm not saying AMD made a bad decision. I'm just saying that neglecting the path from hobbyist to professional (or student to professional) is not insignificant.

Consumer cards that are okay at compute do that job almost as well. And RDNA meets that bar... when the software works.
