Intel was at the same position as TSMC now - there was no competing supplier. Apple decided to become one themselves.

Depends on the reality of the deal TSMC has with ASML - those machines aren't exactly quick to ramp up production of.

I don't understand this comment: even if there were times in past years when AMD CPUs were significantly less performant and more energy-hungry than Intel CPUs, Macs with AMD CPUs that would have sold at least well enough to keep the Mac alive as a product line.
