Not at all surprised, motherboard firmware from most vendors has always been a steaming pile of shit code, often not even built to spec.
Aren't AMI, Insyde and Phoenix providers for 98% of PC (be it board or OEM) vendors though?
And AFAIR, TianoCore is basically used everywhere by everyone as a base except maybe Apple.
I am pretty sure TianoCore is also used by AMD systems as a reference as well.
Here's a similar situation that happened in 2019 at Lenovo's site

AMD systems are listed as well.
As for most board vendors nowadays, I think they barely do anything with the code itself and just create the setup utility and boot logos. It is highly likely that they're affected too.
