What is TSMC/Taiwan’s unique capability? Aren’t ASML in Europe the ones making cutting edge EUV machines that drive process shrinks? I genuinely don’t know but I assume TSMC is mostly just good at scaling the production up economically.

Doing it economically is still incredibly challenging, and there's a reason why they're so far ahead of everybody else.

Everyone can buy top of the line kitchenware, but you need great cooks to run 5 star restaurant. Its all about tuning to reach good yields, TSMC seems to excel at that.

Not everyone can buy top of the line kitchenware and you still need great cooks.
