> I’m confused because this reads like a denial of basic economics. If the price is high enough, the chip will be produced for you. That's a classic stereotype of what an economic "expert" is going to say, while completely ignoring reality. Just because someone is willing to pay for it, does not mean, that goods just materialize. Sure, a lot of the time someone finds a way, but that is still limited by physical constraints: lack of expertise, lack of needed resources or as in this case simply lack of time.
