How do you like them AAPLs?

Apple uses TSMC, which means they get tons of revenue and sell tons of chips.

That turns out to be a key advantage when learning how to make newer chips.

Taiwan also has put a ton of money into this field. A lot of support from the country plus support from some of the biggest names in the industry leads to TSMC.

TSMC didn't always dominate. Intel was definitely better just 5 years ago. But Intel tripped up and GloFo gave up.
