Intel started pushing the BTX idea when they were still hoping to get better results from Prescotts in the 4 GHz-upward range, where the cpu's are power-hungry and just plain red-hot with waste heat. AMD's A64's run so much cooler than the Prescotts that it'd be silly for AMD to suggest to its supporters that anything similar to BTX was needed.
Very few of the high-volume case manufacturers ever offered much in BTX, and the few that had anything, were starting with an ATX as base, and offering a way to mount a different tray for opposite-side access, at extra cost.
