Developers suck at optimizing their games, so AMD added an option to edit the engine.dll file
Game developers don’t suck at optimizing their games. The people building the actual hardware just know better and have a vested interest in increasing performance. These sort of optimizations happen all the time. For example, AAA game developers regularly work with companies like Nvidia, which push out updates to their drivers for specific games.
So it’s not always as simple as making a change to their game engine, otherwise the change would be made there and not explicitly on the driver side. Computers are complex machines and people should hesitate to blindly call anyone incompetent over a few milliseconds of lag.
