AMD is not going to limit mining on its RDNA 2 graphics cards

Given the shortage of cutting-edge graphics made by those who make a living from mining, AMD is not going to limit it in its RDNA graphics. Their position is totally opposite to that of NVIDIA, who have tried by all possible means.

It is cryptocurrency miners who are making many professional and home users unable to easily access graphics cards like NVIDIA's RTXs or AMD's RDNAs. Its ability to process data and handle high information makes the graphs attractive if you are going to mine cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum.

AMD still does not limit the mining capacity of its RDNAs

NVIDIA intended to include a workload limiter on its high-end RTX graphics cards to try and stop cryptocurrency mining. This worked well until they accidentally released a driver that removed the limit . Conversely, AMD opposes this limitation. Nish Neelalojanan of AMD responded with a firm "no" when asked about the possibility of limiting cryptocurrency mining on their graphics cards. They will not limit cryptocurrency mining or any other type of workload on the graphics card.

“RDNA was designed from the ground up for gaming and RDNA 2 doubles down on this. Infinity Cache and a smaller bus width were carefully chosen to hit a very specific gaming success rate. However, mining specifically enjoys, or scales with, higher bandwidth and bus width, so there will be limitations from an architectural level for mining itself.”

With this, they make RDNA 2 AMDs not particularly highly desired for scale mining. They are not the most effective for Ethereum mining and that limitation is already included in their architecture.
