It’s not really in Taiwan’s interest to let TSMC invest in a fab on US soil, because it would decrease the US’ dependency on Taiwan, and thus lessen the need for the US to defend Taiwan from a Chinese invasion.
Yeah, any US based chip fab associated with tsmc will be years behind by design. Keeping their competitive advantage is the only thing they haven’t been on the nasty end of a full coup.
That said, the image of setting comparable fabs in the US can go a long way politically.
