I don’t see how this is bad at all, in fact TSMC is actually the industry standard and lead for chip manufacturing. They handle efficiency better than Samsung for one thing (I mean look at the infamous Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 vs 8+ Gen 1, Qualcomm tried to use Samsung node on the 8 Gen 1 only to end up having worse heat, worse battery life etc. they ended up making the 8+ Gen 1 which moved to TSMC and Was way, way better than the 8 Gen 1).
as for the Mediatek modem, it will be hardened afaik.
