This is an interesting comment, because before you mentioned it I did not even consider DIY chip fab was a possibility.
In the context of access to cheap mass production, it would of course be silly to use the DIY product of that professionally.
In the context of "having zero access" to the technology, then the hand-produced products can be better than nothing, especially if the "no access" alternative is heinous or deadly in its own right.
It's kind of a micro-scale version of the larger discussion, perhaps?
