The world isn’t Amazon or Microsoft, and even for them it’s borderline questionable if designing silicon at scale is the best use of their resources at this point.
As I’ve stated already it’s the last thing you do when you think about security not the first.
When the security posture of your code, configuration, facilities, supply chain etc. is so good that the only attack vector left for adversaries to exploit to compromise your organization in a sufficiently broad manner is the hardware is when you start thinking about building your own silicon.
Or when ofc there are actual business needs for this e.g. you want to be independent of other SoC/ASIC designers or there aren’t any solutions that meet your needs.
Which also comes to the actual point other than the Google key/hsm solutions that look more of a rebadge than a home grown design Google is focusing on things like the TPU due to business reasons aka $$$ not security.
Google isn’t going away from Xeon/EPYC or x86 any time soon, and I find it very questionable if anyone would make a security argument against NVIDIA GPUs as far as Google goes since Google even wrote their own driver stack and CUDA compiler.
