No comment on the other stuff, but the “silicon” part of this argument boils down to “anyone who makes something way better than the competition must be shut down because that’s unfair”.

We’d still be in the Stone Age if everybody had that mentality

Apple successfully monopolized the 5nm node by buying out all of TSMC's manufacturing capability at that node size. Characterizing it as "anyone who makes something way better than the competition" is a strawman portrayal of the underlying issue at hand.

Apple contributes billions of dollars to TSMC’s R&D. The node would not exist yet without Apple.
