You can question whatever you want. That doesn’t answer why it matters that Intel has their HQ in the US.

It’s not like there is such a large choice of companies if you want to be able to produce chips in Europe.

Intel is subservient to American government. I don't want German taxpayer money going into an entity that is subservient to the American government.

For example, America has a habit of forcing American companies to push American foreign policy. For example: Google dropping Huawei.
