You would think this would have been a bigger more well known issue considering that a lot of people play on PC and probably use AMD GPUs.
Maybe.
Low end AMD GPUs end up in prebuilt PCs a lot so people with low end machines have them often and in low end GPUs you're often playing at settings where these issues don't pop up because you don't have that stuff even turned on.
In terms of high end GPUs, it's been pretty standard for almost 2 decades now to warn people away from ever buying AMD GPUs.
Always get AMD for your CPU, ASUS for your motherboard, and nVidia for your GPU <--- that's kind of the default starter advice for home built machines. Sometimes the recommended motherboard changes - but even when it does ASUS remains in the top few entries.
So issues like this don't pop up as often as 'hardcore gamers' are not often on an AMD GPU.
Almost every time I've seen GPU issues, it's been with AMDs.
The rare exception being when the New World MMO launched and it was routinely bricking one or two manufacturer's 3080 / 3090 nVidia GPUs because those were all made with one faulty circuit that got past QA because "no game should ever be calling that part of the board unless it's coded by idiots" and... New World is coded by idiots... So one rare bad GPU slip through combined with one 'shockingly bad developer house' that made a call to a part of a chip that wasn't supposed to be used... an extremely rare mix.
But AMD issues just seem to flow like water. I've seen maybe 1 good AMD GPU, ever. The one in my old MacBook that can't rest flat on a table because the GPU got so hot so often that the case is warped... it ran... but I always felt like I was doing 70 on a freeway after somebody painted black paint over my windshield when using it... (the same issue happened with my former work MacBook of the same specs, that was never used for gaming, but that one melted it's first AMD GPU while running a text editor and a browser so yeah).
