I hope Intel and Samsung will have much success, because TSMC betrayed customers by exclusively providing all top-level manufacturing capacity only to Apple and handling anyone else as a second class citizen.

Everyone else is a second class citizen. Apple brings in more than TSMC's next 3 largest customers combined.

TSMC's success is partially that they're the only company who promises not to compete with their customers, because they don't make their own chips like Intel and Samsung do.

Uhhh they provide plenty to anyone who bids. Nvidia uses them.
