> Redesigning everything that has a TSMC chip in it to use something else would be a massive undertaking. Qualcomm switches their Snapdragon SOC between TSMC and Samsung in one generation. I think the difficulty is overstated. Clocks might have to be lowered to keep the thermal envelope. I suspect the biggest problem (in context of semiconductors) would be the lowered production capacity, building new Samsung factories would take time.
