Well let's pretend Ukraine controlled 67% of all semiconductor manufacturing. Now let's pretend Russia invades them and they can no longer freely produce or export those chips, and since it can take years to get new foundries up and running elsewhere in the world, that means we are all screwed.
Now swap Ukraine with Taiwan, and Russia with China and you have your answer.

The focus should be on where the shortage would be, not on a certain small and unrepresentative subset of who could be impacted by the shortage.
