TSMC’s founder, Morris Chang, said the facility struggled to find enough staff and that costs exceeded expectations and told the then House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, during a visit to Taiwan the same year that US efforts to rebuild chip manufacturing domestically were “doomed to fail”.

I'm not an expert, and definitely talking out of my ass, but maybe the people that have a vested interest in Taiwan not being a part of China may try to dissuade the US from their fabrication efforts to maintain their chip production based relevance on the world stage.
