What is more accessible about a vendor with fully open drivers losing engineers to one with closed source implementations?

Because open source drivers don’t help anyone who can’t get the hardware.

What's elusive about AMD SoCs?

They‘re mostly higher end than Snapdragon SoCs

Raytracing isn't for low-end Snapdragon SoCs. Zen2-based SoCs aren't that expensive.

Zen3+ based SoCs (Ryzen 6000) are not. And those are the ones you’d need to have Navi II iGPUs and thus Raytracing.
