"Agreed, the last thing consumers want is a duopoly dictating prices and milking the market as we have seen during the last two years. I don't get all the whining from the companies about higher costs either, it's their job to drive costs down with their partners."
Thinking Intel being in the GPU market would've significantly changed the situation involves some combination of naivety and magical thinking.

Even ignoring the bulk of "the last two years" and focusing just on the beginning of this year, N6 ramped too late to have a significant effect, before crypto prices started falling, earlier this year. AMD's N6 products were a tiny GPU (106 mm2) and a higher-margin mobile part (208 mm2). The A380's die is 157 mm2. If they had made for launch at or before AMD's launch of the RX 6500XT, then it seems unlikely it'd have been any cheaper than that product.
And even if it was cheaper, your premise that the simple availability of low-end products would've shifted the market lower -- AMD's RX 6500 XT and RX 6400 were that, and did have good availability for most of the time since their launch. And they didn't shift the GPU price distribution, it took the onset of a recession and crypto crash to do that!

TSMC is the bottleneck. You just can't seem to get your head around that.

Go ahead and type some more long posts. It's not going to make your initial statement any less ignorant and wrong. And the longer this goes on, the worse you'll end up looking. The only thing more pathetic than a fool is a stubborn one.
