I cannot follow your reasoning. As producing a chip requires
some kind of intellectual property (IP), here explicitly
our IP, we have the right to restrict its use on producing
chips.
The same applies when you build a machine. If you want to
use the plans of someone else, you have to abide the copyright
terms of them.
