I was just wondering why a company like Intel doesn't manufacture a
complete computer. They already do so many of the components that I
don't see why they don't go the whole nine yards. I think they could
make the design simpler and more efficient if they had complete
control.

Actually they don't, they do chips, not motherboards, for
example. Intel branded boards are contracted out.
Intel focuses on their core competency, not bending metal
and implementing OS, etc, etc.

While making chips is no small undertaking at all, it is
only a minor % of "so many of the components".
