I have never run into any devices that are vendor specific, nor have I ever seen any advertised as vendor specific. As speeds rise to 10Gb and above, there could be variations that could cause problems.

It kind of depends on exactly what the USB device is (i.e. something for a VERY specific purpose might be a different answer), but generally speaking a USB device should run fine on any system.
Now some OLDER systems might not have USB 3.0 or 3.1 or whatever, but that is NOT dependent just upon it being an AMD/Intel chip. So ya, someone told you completely wrong (again unless they have a VERY specific use case or device).

Not that I know of. For a properly installed copy of Windows with correct drivers USB is a pretty standard thing.
The only thing I can think he may have been referring to is complications in installing older OS like Windows 7on a Ryzen CPU because the installer doesn't contain USB drivers that are compatible with Ryzen's chipset USB controller.

The answer to this is no! Intel/amd makes no difference to usb's the motherboard manufacturers all use 3rd party usb controllers on their pcb's and these use standard protocols for communication, we build on average 300k pcb's a year for various companies including Qualcomm ,ARM and Cambrionix which have usb ports and are tested on both and and Intel pc test rigs. So who ever told you that hasn't got a clue what they are on about.
