It's probably wrong to assume that that was their primary goal. The whole chiplet strategy makes an enormous amount of sense for so many other reasons that the one you suggest may well be the least important of them.
Being able to use one single chip design as a building block for every single SKU across server and desktop has got to have enormous benefits in terms of streamlining design, time-to-market, yields, and overall cost.
And then there's the financial benefits of manufacturing IO dies at Global Foundaries, and laying the groundwork for linking up CPU cores with GPU and FPGA chiplets directly on the package.
It's a very flexible and economically sensible design that ticks a lot of boxes at once.
