But then you are assuming the current way is optimal. Why can’t we have a 3d-printer-style contraption for chips?

If people have millions of new chip designs that need making, perhaps that will be motivation to invent a new way of making chips. It might not be better at manufacturing a billion of the same chip, but maybe it’s better at producing a billion different chips. Then every HFT could have their own chip and people could try out all kinds of new designs without committing a fortune.
