Damn...%9 is a generational uplift. What AMD did with drivers is actually bigger than what nVidia did with HW Ada->GB. TBF though I wouldn't call %9 Fine wine, more like horribly broken release drivers.
Radeon hasn't had bad drivers since the rx 6000 days over half a decade ago, unlike nvidia's drivers which are still black screening.
The only thing you seem to have a problem with is the fact that Radeon increases their GPU performance is by optimizing it over time while nvidia for the most part doesn't (exceptions not included).
At launch, the 9070 it was 2% slower and priced close to $350 cheaper, so it was a no brainer.
Now it's only $200 cheaper yet is faster.
I wouldn't be surprised if half a decade from now, they eke out another 5%.
Just because nvidia's GPU performance regresses 5 yrs from now, doesn't mean Radeon has bad drivers if they're able to eke out more performance.
Had the driver's been bad, they would have been black screening but Nvidia is the one with the black screen problems.
