It can, but it is a bad idea:
1. TSMC has very low margins. Buying the company means lowering Apple margins, that are the highest on the world.
2. Lots of companies depend on TSMC, if Apple did that they will be sued for monopolistic behavior.
3. Apple benefits enormously from the cheap devices that TSMC makes for other companies, that is volume, improvement of technology that Apple can use(ARM). It is over 5x the volume in sales of Apple products.
4. It is a strategic interest company of Taiwan,Europe, China and US.Buying it is not economics,it is geopolitics.
