its overstated because its kinda what is more interesting so people click it for a peek. Strictly in thr US for example, not many talk about Global Foundaries, or Texas Instruments because thats what they kinda do now, fab micro controllers and chips on older process nodes.

TI for example has a shit ton of fabs, but the chips they make go into your everyday kinda mundane stuff. No ones interested for your performamce of your washing machine for example.
