I made the same argument to myself when I bought an AMD GPU for gaming 4 years ago. What doesn’t show up in a side by side comparison is that AMD’s drivers (or Windows’ treatment of them) fucking suck. Until I bought an NVIDIA replacement recently I was very frequently having to reinstall the drivers and also intermittently encountering driver crashes in games and browsers.
That’s not to mention having to fiddle with the drivers/games more than I was accustomed to, which IIUC is more a consequence of having less market share and thus not being a priority for game developers to work out of the box. I can excuse that, but not crashes or reinstalling every couple months.
