    Not to mention literally all of the good processors come from Taiwan.

      We’ve also already gone through the trouble of bringing TSMC stateside. Initially they weren’t able to round up enough skilled workers to be able to produce anything close to the quality of chips made in Taiwan. They’ve since made improvements, but we can’t hope to match the output either quality or quantity-wise due to differences of work culture and trying to replicate Taiwan’s processes that make bleeding edge performance possible without binning most of the production line.
