The difference is whether chips with no defects get artificially binned.
In a competitive market, if you have a surplus of top-tier chips, you lower prices and make a little more $$ selling more power.
With a monopoly (customers are still yours next upgrade cycle), giving customers more power now sabotages your future revenue.
