What about Samsung? I thought they also made leading edge.

They're close, but I believe they're not doing any 3nm manufacturing at the moment but I could be wrong about that.
NVIDIA, Apple, AMD, Qualcomm exclusively use TSMC for their best chips. Even Samsung prefers to use TSMC-fabbed Qualcomm SoCs over their in-house design and manufacturing for their flagship phones.
