Yes, I know. But if you look inside a computer, you’ll quickly realize there’s a lot more than an Intel CPU and Chipset making the computer work. Everything from networking NICs to audio. Not much of a computer when you don’t have the Taiwanese chips for Ethernet. Or when you find out your BIOS was stored in a ROM chip that’s unobtainable.

You're right that a blockade would cause shortages, but I'm skeptical that it would be as bad as you're suggesting. The only industry that I'm aware of that was "de-computerized" during the recent shortage was the auto industry, and even that was just manufacturers temporarily leaving certain features out of new vehicles.
