Samsung is a Korean jaebeol. It’s a massive conglomerate all owned by the one family, but each department operates very independently and is incentivised largely to maximise its own profit independent of the rest of the conglomerate.
The semiconductor/memory chip production side wouldn’t sell the chips to the consumer electronics side, because it’s more profitable to sell and feed to the genAI side of the business.
Reminds me of that time Samsung wouldn’t sell ram to Samsung because they needed to compete with the demand from Samsung.
Wait, what?
