I remember my teacher telling me that one person can't make a pencil alone because they couldn't hand make large machines that were modern at the time. I have the benefit of hindsight now, she was wrong and she was propagating a common lie intended to prevent competition in the market. My point is that thousands of people aren't required for this stuff. Think of it as a information security to maintain monopoly thing. Lithography can be used to improve lithography, chemistry used to be something that young boys played with and is easier than most people think, US has the best silicon on the planet for this. Cell phones have been at the five nanometer gap for nearly ten years now. It could be done, the real question is if it will be done.
