Public companies have a responsibility to disclose any known risks that are material to their performance.
It could be argued that they don't have a responsibility, or only a limited one. But in this case they really can't that they're actually unaware of it's use for mining. It's not necessary on an individual person-by-person basis, they know that a substantial amount of hardware is used for it.
Perhaps they don't know exactly how many or what %, but a little bit of market research-- over an issue highly material to their bottom line-- would be expected (and was probably done, but maybe they're bad at their jobs). At a minimum it's trivial to see that sales are correlated to the crypto market.
Also AMD managed to note the risk in its own 10-Q filings.
