ASML get a lot of coverage since last year, I've had never heard of it before, and I suspect just like many.

It looked liked it emerged due to concerns about TMSC getting too much power and advance with billions on investments for semiconductors, and all of sudden all was alright since TMSC heavily relied on a dutch company.

Maybe there's more of it, I'm starting to suspect there's a submarine in there.

Both needs each other as to what I'v concoluded when I researched this topic. Making the machine is one thing and using it for fabrication is different thing, it might sound naive to say so, since typically one might think generally of machines as they comes with manual, and that's all you need for opreation..etc, but that is really far from be the case for the EUV machines or the fabrication plants... Lastly, to add to the point, if it was only about the machine, why Intel haven't started using it for fabricating <7nm...
