scary

At the same time, Apple is big enough it could possibly "disrupt" supply chains and suddenly a new manufacturing center somewhere else and bring the house with it?

Yes but no matter how much money / production capacity you want to bring, at some point it still takes physical time to build all the factories and set up the whole ecosystem. 5 - 10 years sounds about right.

hopefully a lot more than 10%
