Nobody makes old processors (except for legacy support) because Moore's law has been a thing for 50 years. It has always been cheaper to produce chips at scale with the latest tech. This has justified the creation of 10 billion dollar factories, till recently

Now that the law is close to coming to an end, the economics changes. Latest tech provides negligible marginal benefits to the median consumer. So now it is possible to think of commodotizing a single process and making the factories much much cheaper.
