Your #7, yes we produce many exotic military applicatons, but so many of the engineers involved are foreigners. BTW, France, yes France, contributes many exotic components to our aerospace systems, especially space systems components. Their technology is first rate.
As far as microprocessors, we do produce most of them, but they are assembled overseas. The motherboards are primarily foreign designed and manufactured, so are many of the chipsets that support those microprocessors.

Mainly because we want to sell these things to European markets, and if we don't include them, they will produce their own stuff (which they do).
