Tech companies are terrified of becoming commodities, even though a good chunk of them basically are at this point.

Intel would probably be in a better spot if they'd just leaned into that rather than try to regain the market dominance they once had.

The vast, vast majority of chips produced are "old generation" chips used for relatively mundane purposes. The high-tech stuff you see in the news is a minority (though it's pricey enough that it doesn't look that way in company earnings reports).

Think power supplies, middle-of-the-road CPUs, ASICs for common I/O like USB and ethernet, timing devices, and wireless communication modules.

"Push here to open" on Mac and cheese boxes. I swear they don't even bother perforating the boxes anymore.
