(In the comment) They want to be able to source a drop in cpu from 2 different supply chains.

And they want that for every piece and part on the thing.

That would pretty much require standardization of cpu socket between vendors to allow one to drop a compatible generation of intel or amd processor into a slot. This sounds onerous but I doubt it would require increasing the unit cost by 20 times.
