I think the main reason though is that the main CPU and GPU designers (AMD, Nvidia and now even Intel) are preferring TSMC because chips produced by them are usually just better and Exynos turned out to be a failure.
There is simply less need for more compute power for the average user. Even additinal.festures like screen size and resolution or video and photo quality are harder and harder to show actual differences. So people hold onto devices for longer and longer.
