nah it’s not that simple. it’s mostly about cost. chip manufacturing is hella expensive and developing new chip manufacturing techniques is even more expensive. it’s cheaper to do it all in one place in taiwan instead of every country opening its own chip manufacturers. it’s only now due to security considerations that this is changing, but it takes 10 years to build a chip manufacturing site somewhere.

Would that it were so simple.
