This is sort of like how Apple made the best small music player: exclusivity agreement with the enabling makers of small hard-drives so no other companies could use them in music players. Not exactly high engineering from Apple, just savvy business.
In this case it is timed exclusivity with TSMC on the latest process nodes. Apple do do the chip layout design, I'm talking only about the process part of the chip.
