Which makes it even more stupid that AMD does not at least try to compensate for their shortcoming by selling large memory GPUs, there would be a reason to develop for team red

Yeah.

If there was a 40GB-48GB 7900 SKU, I would have bought it over a 3090 in a heartbeat, even at a big premium over the 24GB card. And I'd be debugging ROCm support in ML projects left and right.

But I am not. The 24GB SKU is just not worth the trouble over a 3090, which is more RAM efficient out of the box. I can't pay $5K for a W7900.
