Ryzen main advantage is 3 things:

1) Price

2) Motherboard compatibility - You can use the same AM4 motherboard with 2nd gen and 3rd gen Ryzen cpu's. Heck now you using 6 core ryzen 5 2600 processor, in few years you can upgrade that Ryzen cpu to a 16 core Ryzen 9 3950X (when prices come down)

3) Core count, before Ryzen came in the picture, people were happy with 4 cores, and each year AMD is just pushing the core count even higher. Who would have thought we would see 8 core processors in laptops nowadays.

Compatibility is not on AMD motherboard, compatibility per se. 
Even until Year 2020, AMD still has weird issues on the motherboard.

Weird RAM timing and compatibility issues.
Weird slow boot up with NVME 3200R SSD (you can refer this https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4936761 )

I had changed 3x B450 motherboards for my staff due to weird issues on the motherboard. Weird boot up and cold boot (could be the RAM compatibility issue)
I changed from Gigabyte to MSI and eventually Asrock B450 Steel Legend.

I have NEVER encountered such issue on Intel chipset motherboard in the last 30 years (I upgrade every 1-2 generation of Intel processor).

P/S
As shared by JohnLai on above link
I never encountered such issue on Intel system, especially brand new motherboard.
It is just mindblowing to do this in Year 2020.

I always advise people go with intel, there is a reason intel can charge a premium price. But for the price, ryzen is also not bad these days.

Of course to me definitely intel > AMD at the moment.

Nowadays amd already surpass intel in price/performance/value.
No point pay intel premium price, since its use the same architecture since skylake.

Not really, just go online and see the issues surrounding AMD processors, from micro stutters, to it not being optimize for specific application, to not as good battery life as intel (even though they are using smaller chip size).

Bro,

Laptop AMD still stuck with Zen 1st gen. Even the latest one 3000 series is just a Zen+. 4000 series is Zen2 based which is the major leap but you have to wait until late Q2 or early Q3. 4000 series also mark 6 cores medium class instead of 4 cores. This is where it will start to shine.

I think you don't get the point of the video, while amd is focusing on core count, intel is optimizing their processors so that it works better with applications. Sort of a quality > quantity example.
