A lot of government funded companies are started as knockoffs of successful business models when that industry becomes trendy. It's really hard to start companies and it's even harder when there's already someone that does it well with a head start. Idk if this applies in Intel's case, because they already exist and do certain things very well. It would just seem kind of silly if the end result of subsidizing Intel's expansions was that Intel could outcompete other American companies (AMD & Nvidia) because of it.
