I don´t agree with that, doing that would turn out to be just cheap criticism.
Companies should be praised or criticized for their products (quality/performance/utility/features/price, etc) and not because they are big or small companies!
Or are we going to start praising bad products, just because they are from a small or smaller company? (and before there is confusion, I'm not talking about AMD, I'm talking generically about any company).
There's nuance to be added to this: larger companies (particularly those with dominant/near-monopolistic market positions) deserve and require more scrutiny as they have more power to abuse and are more likely to do so. Likewise, it's easier to cut the underdog some slack - for the same reasons, mostly, as having less power not only lessens the ability to abuse it, but puts concrete roadblocks in the way of success. This is why a minor delay for AMD is much less of a big deal than a minor delay for Intel, let alone a major delay like 10nm. Gargantuan market leaders have every opportunity to deliver
beyond expectations, and thus failing to do so is disappointing - hence how people quickly grew tired of Intel's 4c8t +~7% performance/year cadence. Small-fry competitors impress when they stay competitive despite having a fraction of the resources - like AMD's blockbuster success with Ryzen. Put rather bluntly, it's the same logic as praising a runner with a limp for finishing the marathon at all, while criticizing the world-class athlete for performing below par, even if the athlete's time is half of the other. Different standards for different entities, even when operating in the same field.
This doesn't mean that AMD should be excused for bad products (I don't see many people touting the VII as the second coming of Raptor Jesus, so I don't think this is actually happening), or that they're somehow "a good corporation" (I'd argue that those don't exist, as the goal of any profit-oriented business is to extract money from the general public), but that they deserve more praise for (even moderate) success and less criticism for not quite making deadlines than Intel.
