A 68k CPU has 68,000 transistors. If they have managed to produce all the building blocks of a CPU on a common optical process, why not build that?
Obviously this is only an easy option if the production is automated via lithography or something similar. If the process involves tweezering parts into place by hand, then a 2 bit SUBLEQ CPU is what you're gonna get...
