First of all there are serious economies of scale to chip processing, especially at these low scale, that I think it's unlikely a SME could compete in this space.
Secondly chipmaking is not always the most environmentally friendly process, at least on a local level (Intel[2], AMD[1] have superfund sites at former plants, they aren't the only one), so I'm not sure people should want someone running one "from their garage"
