Firstly it might be more complicated than that, they may have a contract in place with intel where they need to stick with them for X amount of years in return for cheaper stock or better deals elsewhere (Apple and intel work together on other things). That’s hypothetical, but it’s certainly not as simple as “they should just switch”.
