Well AMD still seems to have some of the worst drivers compared to Nvidia.

As an example with their last "flagship" which was the Vega VII, it had quite a lot of driver problems:

(Skip to 10 minutes where he starts talking about Vega VII)

5000 series drivers isn't exactly much cleaner either...

You can't generalize like that.

I never had any problems with either Evergreen or early GCN GPU drivers - but thrice with NVidia (Riva TNT2, GeForce FX 5500 and GTX 460).

NVidia drivers do seem superior in the newest games right now, but for retrogaming they are atrocious. Old 4:3 ratio games look like a hackjob on my 1050Ti but got streched tp the entire screen without deformations on AMD GPUs, for instance. They also crashed more rarely in older games.

Well when you look at his reviews of the 5000 series as well, they also have had bad drivers with functions not working properly or reporting incorrect readouts from the GPU. We will see with their next gen ones but the last thing I want when I spend $500-$700 on a new high end GPU is driver issues. Granted both companies have had their instances of bad drivers but from what I can tell when looking at his (and others) Nvidia GPU reviews as well, the drivers aren't as much of an issue.

I can't really comment on retro gaming since I don't play much of that but I do buy plenty of new games so having drivers working on day 1 instead of later... That's important for me as well.
