Because their business model is to focus on manufacturing so that they don’t compete with their customers. This gives them access to Nvidia and amd with no conflict of interest. This is not something I’m just speculating about and writing about here as a counter point. This is literally a well known and specific strategic business decision made by tsmc. Foxconn I’m less familiar with them so I can’t comment on that. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they had a similar strategy. Would apple really outsource to them if they were making their own competing phones? Fuck no. That being said you know that all phone technology comes from abroad right? Like most design and manufacturing come from Asia. It is impossible for America alone to support the full stack of this technology. But Asia can.
