As the title says, what is the reason or their line of thinking?

At this point I am almost convinced they are being paid out by Intel or Nvidia though "rebates" for not producing any AMD boards. I know EVGA used to make AMD boards back in the Phenom AM2/AM2+ days, but it just seems like a really big missed opportunity to refuse to make boards for both of those excellent platforms.

I posted an article today stating that AMD may have captured 40 percent of the market for CPUs. That number would have to be much higher (in my personal opinion) and stay high before EVGA would even consider such an option. This year Intel should get their 10nm game together for desktop CPUs. AMD of course will have Zen 3 at the improved 7nm+ die. Rumor has it that AMD might announce Zen 3 architecture at CES 2020 since they have a keynote address. Then again AMD might talk about GPU architecture, or maybe both. We'll know in a few days.

AMDs market share as a whole across consumer, small business, and enterprise is a fraction of what Intel's is. Think about it, how many enterprises are throwing out possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Intel products just because of AMD's new products, zero?

If I remember right, when EVGA made the AMD boards, they had Nvidia chip-set. Maybe that is why they did it years ago.
Maybe AMD will use Nvidia chip-sets again, though I doubt it.

Bingo !   Give this man a Ribbon !!
There once was a time in a land long ago where teams Green and Red played nicely together    Nvidia cards worked in AMD boards and AMD cards worked in "Nvidia" based boards. Then a great upheaval came across the landscape when Intel got mad at Nvidia , lawsuits were filed and we know how that goes  So each team was banished to opposite sides of the playground and in the end we were left with motherboards , video cards, chipsets and drivers that no longer wanted to play nice with each other   It's been that way since around 2009ish.  As far as I remember the 790i was the last of the Nvidia motherboards everything has been Intel based since around that time.
 
Someone please correct me if I am wrong

EVGA back in the day was INTEL.  
and will stay intel partners.
If EVGA went to making AMD boards and video cards, Intel would drop them in a heart beat.
Evga was and still is know for being a INTEL only motherboard maker .. 
 
so to leave that group wouldn`t be good for them, sure they would break in to the main stream market per-say with making AMD stuff.  But they would loser there Rep as a Intel only company.. and right now , im pretty sure they wouldnt want to lose the main company, when something new intel brings out before it is ever put to the world market ..   with being amd and intel, they would be standing in line waiting for the product to test and then bring to market like the other guys, with being only a Intel partner they get it before the other guys do, giving them a EDGE on the other guys ..  
Just like with Sapphire company, AMD is there only company they have, why because sapphire and AMD have a brand thing happening.  Sapphire gets AMD chip sets for there video cards before anyone else, gets AMD GPU chips.
