For processors it’s a bit different I believe. We care about cost, efficiency and raw power. If you are not leading in at least one dimension you are completely dead.
You are literally leaving money on the table if you pick a processor not leading one of these (or being very good at 2-3 of these).

So-called "trusted execution environments". Sure, Intel isn't leading in any of these either – except maybe backwards-compatibility –, but there are more characteristics we care about than just the three you listed.
