    Some of the market is still using comically large processes though. I read that TSMC is urging a lot of automotive industry clients to update from their ancient processes (I think ~350nm) because economies of scale are making them really uneconomical to keep in production alongside cutting edge techniques. Maybe the US sees value in extorting that stubborn part of the market when TSMC inevitably stops catering to them.
