This isn't true. It used to be, as a new fab would appreciably add quantity. At 1M wspm in 2015, a new 100k fab at the most modern node would add effectively 20-30% capacity, and usually multiple.players at once, since all had cash.
Now, the relative shrink is tiny, so capacity adds are just wspm, in effect, and that gives 5%.
Put differently, you cannot invest your way out of the shortage, or into meaningful share....so you take profit.
