Also, the Japanese foundry that wants to bring competition to the market, Rapidus, plans to build a second plant in 2027 with maybe the option to make 14nm chips on it by 2029

That's 1.4nm not 14nm. They are currently doing 2nm in low volume for testing and validating expecting high volume production to start in 2027. Hopefully they succeed because TSMC has no meaningful competition and just keep increasing their prices. 

True. I forgot to add the dot when writing that. My bad.

And yes, the more competition TSMC (and ASML) has, the better.
