Query about apparent superfluous package in system update

Hello.

I am wondering, in checking just now, the packages to be updated; why 
this one is included in the packages to be updated, when I do not have 
the GPU.

xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu/jammy-updates 22.0.0-1ubuntu0.2 amd64 
[upgradable from: 22.0.0-1ubuntu0.1]

(from  apt list --upgradable).

So, I am wondering why a driver for an AMD GPU is installed, and, is set 
to be upgraded.

Thank you in anticipation.
