I see two objections to this: The collateral damage to the surrounding economy (well ran companies might be dependent on Intel) and the loss of strategically important institutions and knowledge, especially in markets with a high barrier to entry. So I think bailing out can be justified, even if it is a clear moral hazard. The better solution I think is to prevent markets from becoming too oligopolistic and firms from becoming too big to fail. But this would require a government who isn't afraid of taking anti-trust measures to maintain market competition, but the US has been moving away from that model for decades.
