Why are after installation of AMD Chipset Software devices not named correctly? What to do?

Why are after successfully installation of AMD Chipset Software devices in Device Manager not named correctly in comparison with Intel PC after installation of Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility?

Installing AMD Chipset Software after clean installed Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise without internet connection and disabling everything possible (Windows Firewall - Doman profile, Private profile, Public profile, real-time protection, controlled folder access, Memory integrity of Core isolation, MS Defender SmartScreen) does not helps.

So, how AMD user know, that after installed AMD Chipset Software he/she run AMD PC optimized as an Intel PC shown in uploaded image? Can somebody even speak of optimized AMD PC while you in Device Manger still use over 20 Windows generic drivers mostly from 2006? Even if you have tried websites like IOBit Driver Booster and similar you are mostly misled. For example, from similar websites are installed AMD SATA Controller drivers v.1.2.1.402 from 29/03/2015 what is completely wrong. The AMD SATA controller component is not compatible on AMD desktop systems running Window 10 or using AMD Socket AM4 and Socket TR4 chipsets. As stated on AMD website: It may cause stability and performance issues with solid-state drives (SSD’s). Because I use multiple M.2 NVMe ssd’s, this is not best for the performance.

Does someone have an answer about this issue or even better, did you check this on your PC and have asked yourself: is this wright? I wrote it to AMD support, but pursuing to get reply, they do not have an answer to this issue.

My rig: two PCs in identical Fractal Design PC case with same brand PSU, same brand water cooling, next to each other.

Gigabyte Z390 AORUS MASTER (INTEL PC)

Like Henry David Thoreau said: ‘How can we grow if we don't know what we don't know and always rely on what we know.’

Note:
This is not question about setting AMD Ryzen Power Plan, AMD Ryzen Master, or the overclocking.
