That would mean having sub-optimal chips for 3-5 years in their products while Qualcomm/AMD could finally catch up.
TSMC having undisputedly best litography is advantageous to Apple. It means Apple can buy the whole production and nobody else will be able to compete with their chips. They will lose this if they will make the field more competitive by propping up a competitor.
