This one's pretty easy, from a business logic perspective; there's no money in it. The most cost-effective corporations in America (eg. Apple) are critically reliant on not building this infrastructure. They can take advantage of global supply chains with dirt-cheap human labor and they're first in line to use state-subsidized factories wherever they're built. Who would spend a dollar on domestic manufacturing when that same money is worth 100x more in Vietnam or China?
There's no reward for reshoring like there is for building a software monopoly or disrupting a hardware business.
