TSMC depends on ASML too. Intel absolutely does have manufacturing expertise despite them recently lagging, and they are catching up too: they solved the RISC/CISC disadvantage they had vs ARM (wide execution pipelines, killed hyperthreading, larger micro op cache, etc., all handling stupid x86 decoding), de facto solved power delivery and transistor fabrication issues, and are now a serious competitor despite wall street still mispricing them hard.
>And you think this is something feasible within the next decade?
No. They don't need to keep up with or beat the necessary production volume, they just need to prove they can do it with a half-feasible plan to reduce costs to a viable business plan. That's a whole lot different and a lot more realistic, and given the above I don't doubt they have a serious shot at it.
