This isn't a generalizable problem. There just aren't many companies that would be in a comparable situation to Intel.
Intel is:
* Critical to national security
* An advanced, industry that's extremely hard to spin up
* Essentially, one of two companies in it's industry.
Very few other companies meet all of those criteria.
What beats Boeing or Apple then so as to put Intel over the top of these guys?
Intel wanted the 9 billion in CHIP Act money that was being withheld and was willing to make a deal for 10% equity in order to get it.
