This is a very editorialized headline. They didn't say the costs are worth it.
They said the resiliency of the supply chain has to be taken into account, as was seen during COVID. I don't think anyone would argue that 20% extra cost forever is worth the resiliency to black swan events like COVID that will happen 2 or 3 times in the company's lifetime (if that).
I also think people forget that Taiwan is a first world country. It's not like we're comparing US manufacturing costs to Pakistani manufacturing costs.
I'm not gonna argue that the cost isn't worth it for the US government, of course it is (they pay nothing and get more jobs and in-house chips), but AMD the company doesn't care about that.
