If you pick hardware/features from company that don’t support your OS of choice, I don’t see this to happened, not just in future, but ever. Just picture someone buying software/hardware for Sony’s FreeBSD (PlayStation) and expecting it to work on Windows: this doesn’t make any sense.
Linux is an insane exception to this because it’s the Linux community of engineers who reverse engineered. It’s not about wait for “Linux has to be ready”, but be sure the money you thrown at your hardware are well spent.
If AMD company suddenly shut down, your hardware on Windows is just an unsecured brick which in few years become useless. On Linux it will be always supported, bug fixed and updated thanks to OpenSource drivers.
