It seems Intel seems to have recognized that and hedged their bets by securing the remaining 3nm capacity [1]

Frankly don't believe this. Who do you give majority of leading node capacity to?

1. Biggest long term partner.

2. Someone who competes with you as a manufacturer.

Not a hard decision!

TSMC had long said they were happy to have Intel as a larger customer, including on leading edge nodes… if there was long-term commitment from Intel.

Of course but that’s not the same as giving them the majority of the leading edge at the expense of Apple which is what the article implies.
