What is going on here? 2200G and 2400G already launched with some beta drivers with issues and missing features, 3 months after launch and the 2200G/2400G still have the feb12 drivers.
That could be it, but I'm assuming that AMD will release new drivers sooner or later.Assuming they're interested in supporting the product, then either they think they got it right as-is, or they're waiting to release updates for some reason.
All we can do is guess.
Seems like Microsoft's update catalog has at least two versions timestamped April 2018:

I don't think the driver state is as bad as you're stating. I've had zero issues with my 2200G with a variety of display setups and I think it's fair to say most of the Summit Ridge owners are going to be much less concerned about the latest optimization compared to regular Vega owners.
The driver is not feature complete (no Relive, encoder dosent work, no wattman, just to start), it also has issues, occacional bsods, and it has a significant IGP downcloking while gaming causing severe frame drops, if not overcloked, what left the A320 almost unusable, this is a lot worse on the 2400G but its also present on the 2200G.

Relive: I wouldn't call that a high priority issue.
Wattman: What is this giving you that you don't get from Ryzen Master? Have they ever stated it SHOULD work?
BSODs: I've had zero since switching to the Gigabyte board. How did you determine the issue is due to the drivers?
IGP Downclocking: I'll have to play around with it more after I move, but I didn't notice any major issues.
Try looking at this from a regular users or even light gamers perspective. I personally don't know anybody who uses Relive, I had to Google what Wattman was, haven't had any BSODs, and haven't noticed any glaring issues with the IGP downclocking. Therefore, if I was AMD, this doesn't sound like a terribly high priority.
Downclocking on all its glory:
As for the rest, is not feature complete, period, its not even using an adrenaline level driver, this is some kind of internal alphaish driver they released in a hurry.
There is just no way they think it is OK. Even the driver notes said that a new driver is coming out soon to fix some issue.
I did test with the beta 1.0.0.3 but it has old bug (also present on P4.40 on that board, that makes A8-9600 unable to past bios screen. Not to mention that i cant really use a beta driver in production.Downclocking was fixed with 1002a (and you can manually set clocks as a workaround prior to this). You should ask MSI and/or ASRock for updates on a version with 1002a which came out a while ago. The ASRock page you linked has a beta BIOS with 1003a support.
It seems to me the main issues you're having is you bought A320 motherboards and you bought ones with bad/old BIOS's. I've had 1002a for almost a month now and as mentioned, I haven't noticed any down clocking issues.
I also have to play devils advocate here and ask if AMD ever said theses features would be supported?
This is some kind of joke? im not some random guy who got a A320 with a 2400G to play fornite.
Seriously? Because you don't care is ok for AMD to give poor support for it's products, because "it works well enough"?Relive: I wouldn't call that a high priority issue.
Wattman: What is this giving you that you don't get from Ryzen Master? Have they ever stated it SHOULD work?
BSODs: I've had zero since switching to the Gigabyte board. How did you determine the issue is due to the drivers?

A new driver came out and another delay for the APUs: https://www.anandtech.com/show/1272...aris-support-for-vega-gpus-apus-still-to-come
