TSMC is a fab, not a chip designer. Apple designed their own chips with in-house engineering talent. Due to how the silicon supply chain works no-one but TSMC can make those chips so everyone needs to use them. Also Meta can't just waive around money and get the most advanced chips; apple has bought out all the production for some time.

Amd waived around enough money to get a big order of 3nm too and they aren’t even big scary nvidia but the underdogs in this space.
