We saw something similar happen during the pandemic. There has to be infrastructure and people with the skill and knowledge to support an industry available, and even if you had those people available you can't just ramp up production in any old place. That's why there were supply chain problems and will continue to be, the UK won't be making its own drugs (designing, yes, making, no) just because it did in the past, the US won't be making computer chips just because it did in the past. There being a profit to be made isn't enough.

The system may be broken but fixing it takes more than a wave of the hand.
