I mean, it's economic blackmail: we won't build the good shit anywhere else, so if you don't protect us, you get nothing.
Effective, but only if you're dealing with someone who is rational, and, well, have you seen the brain-worm oligarchs in charge of the US lately?
For Taiwan, it's a matter of survival, plain and simple. They're not going to give up their monopoly because without it they cease to exist. It does not matter how irrational the person they're dealing with is, because for them this is life and death, literally. TSMC is the single biggest national security asset they have.
