Pretty much the biggest reason is that there isn’t enough volume in chip manufacturing to justify it. If we added similar chip manufacturer, it wouldn’t double the amount being produced because there aren’t enough people to consume all of them. That means the investment would likely not be returned. All it would do is hurt TSMC, but it would hurt the investor more.
