TSMC didn't get ahead because they were specialized. Intel just had many years of delays / failures depending on how you see it. TSMC traditionally and still are a slow risk-adverse entity and hence were usually behind the competition e.g. Intel. Intel had always wanted to open up their fabs - want being the term here. It was just never executed very well in the past. Even ignoring the chip shortage and any recent political demand there has always been a demand for alternatives e.g. Apple / nVidia going with TSMC / Samsung. You can never rely on a single provider. I see Intel fixing their problems rather than having a major shift in strategy.
