AMD has tried their hand with memory before (by running their own brand). It did not work out so well for them. Also, bundling a specific board might irritate other board partners. That's the kind of bundle Microcenter et al. can put together. AMD doesn't have that flexibility.
I think they would have a nice market for RAM optimized for maximum performance for their Ryzen and Threadripper lines, the last time they tried was with the Construction cores, I bought a 16GB (2x8GB) kit of 2400 DDR3 to pair with my Kaveri for $100 in 2012. Timing for such a product is critical, Zen is far more popular and even more so now with Zen2.
You have a good point on the motherboard problem and are correct. Instead, replace the MB with an AMD branded 1TB PCIe 4.0 drive.
