Makes a lot of sense to open a fab outside Asia. Potentially risky to open it in the US as that removes some of the incentive for the US to protect Taiwan from the Chinese.

One of the many incentives to protect Taiwan.

Many nations want China to stay within the first island chain. They're aggressive in term of territory claims.

The current hegemony of USA is more palatable and predictable for them than China's.

To be fair, Taiwan would want USA to be stronger and also the majority of their customers are USA companies.
