AMD Ryzen 7000 (Raphael) Will Support DDR5-5200 as default
Apacer mentions in a document that Ryzen 7000 series ships with DDR5-5200 memory, which is 400 MHz faster than JEDEC specifications and the Intel Alder Lake architecture.
The chart also reveals that DDR4 is not supported and that EPYC Genoa supports DDR5-5200 natively. They are both based on AMD Zen4 microarchitecture. AMD is currently developing a technology dubbed EXPO, basically an SPD extension standard rivaling Intel XMP 3.0, with fine-grained AMD memory controller architecture-specific parameters.
Lower down in the Apacer presentation it reveals EPYC Genoa CPUs will natively support DDR5-5200. The Socket SP5 CPUs support 12-channel DDR5 memory (24 sub-channels). The Ryzen 6000 "Rembrandt" mobile CPUs already include dual-channel DDR5-4800 and LPDDR5-6400 memory interfaces. AMD Ryzen 7000 "Raphael" CPUs natively support DDR5-5200 memory speed, therefore no UEFI adjustments are required.

I wouldn't build a new high-end system with DDR4, but an Alder Lake on an i5 or worse is totally fine and makes sense for those on a budget.
I personally intend to go DDR5 next, where hopefully RAM prices and latency will go down a bit by the time I do.
What I could really use though is a new GPU. It's going to be really stupid if my R9 290 ends up carrying me through 3 generations. I'm ready to upgrade but I'm not willing to spend these inflated prices.
In my opinion it's a good decision to go purely for DDR5. I wouldn't use anything else with a next gen CPU that can use DDR5, even if it still supported DDR4 as well. However, that's just my preference, AMD ought to be more concerned about how it works financially. Apparently Intel decided it would be bad for the business. But Alder Lake was released when DDR5 was much newer tech and availability poorer, so it makes sense. Even though I still wouldn't have built a DDR4 Alder Lake system.

On the long run everything above 3600 mhz can be unstable. All these fast ddr4 or ddr5 are great on paper but when u actually run it for a long time u want stability not fast speeds and random bsods. Like it might run fine for awhile then suddently get bsods. No thanks.

Why over such a particular speed?

you'd probably make out like a bandit with an AM5 APU at that point.
