Intel has a big AZ presence, I wonder why AZ specifically. Maybe climate? Maybe so TSMC can poach some talent? It's a really great question and if anyone has specifics I hope they chime in.

Probably also a pretty good existing ecosystem of 3rd party contractors and suppliers that support the Intel fabs and would be happy to do business with TSMC as well.

edit: also, a minor quibble: I wish we'd get away from calling it "poaching", as if there is anything illegal or immoral about employers competing for employees.
