The Purism Librem 5 phone is very expensive and unfortunately not that popular. Haven't met anyone who uses one yet

That’s very niche. Very few people in the general population will have heard of them.
Apple is well known. If they say the new iPhone SE 7 has a Made In America chip, people will know about it to buy if they care about that.
And it's also a pile of shit compared to an iPhone or a Galaxy S device.
There's your real issue right there. People are already paying $1199 for new phones. According to this article: https://www.vox.com/technology/2018/9/13/17851052/apple-ipho...
Another $100. That's a little over six years old now though, so bump it up to $200.
Would I pay $1399 for an American made iPhone with American made internals, as the article suggests it would cost ($100, but I doubled it for inflation, because, why not?)? You bet your sweet ass I would.
