It absolutely doesn't render the carbon-neutrality of the chip useless. Concern about waste and concern about climate change are bound by a political movement and not a whole lot else. It's not wrong to care about waste more, but honestly its emissions that I care about more.

Waste creates more emissions. Instead of producing something once, you produce it twice. That's why waste is bad, it's not just about disposing of the wasted product.

Not if the company that produces them is carbon neutral, which is theoretically the argument here. In general you're obviously correct, but I'd expect most emissions aren't incurred from waste.
