AMD Zen2 and beyond - Pioneer ready to support yet?

So now that AMD is currently beating Intel in market share (for like three quarters running), and possibly soon performance too, and now that Intel is having trouble sourcing enough CPU's to supply their OEM's... Now that we are in 2019 and there will be a MUCH larger volume of AMD based laptops in the marketplace and in the wild... is Pioneer FINALLY ready to consider opening up some sort of quality testing / beta program to at least bug-fix and/or certify the Rekordbox for AMD platforms as officially supported?  Maybe even provide some optimizations for Vulkan (which 1.2+ is supported on intel hardware too, even Apple's Metal through "MoltenVK.")

I mean... I think it's cool that they dropped the DDJ-800 recently, but as I ALWAYS buy AMD, it, the 400, the 1000, and the RZX all fall into skull-and-crossbones-do-not-buy category for me.  The entire class of product is basically a non-starter for me, and soon to be even more people besides just me.

Sales may be up, but overall market share of computers in use is still around the 20% mark:

There are no plans to support AMD processors in the near future, sorry.
