Re:China hires over 100 TSMC engineers in push for chip lead... by supernova87a on Wednesday August 12, 2020 @09:07PM (#24138983)
Well, maybe another way to put it is that it's a business where the costs and value are absolutely clear. And it's a pure physics/technology catchup business. So margins get competed very thin.

Versus what you call "scammy" industries, where people attach emotional value, social value, network effects, irrational likes/dislikes -- there's a lot of margin that can be milked out of stuff like that.
