"Fueled by greed". It would be trivial to say no to AI companies because dollars are dollars, it doesn't matter who pays them, and prioritizing literally all of humanity instead of "five companies" is a choice that every single supplier could make, but decided not to. This problem was 100% manufactured by suppliers.

It would be equally "trivial" to say no to personal compute as well. So maybe the problem is manufactured by all of us.

A dollar is a dollar, and suppliers chose to screw over the world for not-even-profits: they would have sold the exact same number of chips if they changed how they prioritized delivery while making sure everyone got chips instead of just a handful of industries.

So, no: it's nothing like what you replied with and that was a rather dumb thing to say.
