Their existence seems tenuous at this point so any criticism, warranted or not could bring the whole thing down in my opinion. At that point the only place making advanced chips is the far east.
If a bit of fair criticism can bring down whole company, they are already gone. Unfair criticism can be easily debunked and any rational person will ignore it.
Market needs as much competition as possible since everybody else benefits from that, but it needs to have some solid foundations, not just wishful thinking or protectionism. if there will be a market hole, others will fill in. If you can't trust ie British or other western chips, why should rest of the world (aka 95% of mankind) trust US ones.
Eh I don’t think anyone in the states will fill the hole if intel collapses so talk of a robust market and competition is kind of moot. I feel you have to do whatever it takes to prop it up because once it’s gone it’s never coming back.
