I thought all you had to do to get access was to drop piles of money on TSMC lap. Is the access not common?

This would be rather a different order of magnitude of cash than a 10 year old "startup" with 203M in funding, > 100 employees and no revenues would have. From what I understand the current 7nm TMSC capacity is already maxed out by the likes of Apple, NVIDIA, and AMD. And then TMSC also has just screwed up a bunch of wafers through chemical contamination as well.
