Yes, but Apple also used their financial muscle to secure all of the 5nm capacity from TSMC. We're not comparing apples with apples here.

It would be more accurate to describe Apple was the only customer willing to pay and has enough volume.

If you mean AMD couldn't match what Apple was willing to pay when you say "Apple was the only customer willing to pay", then absolutely. Otherwise, when push comes to shove in a bidding war with Apple, I don't think AMD really has a chance.
