I'm waiting for the day when TSMC starts asking 30% of revenue for using their FabStore. Or ASML, for that matter.

At this rate, why not having the mining companies charge 30% of revenue for using their metals.

All of the above would if they could, its just that alternatives and competition that prevents it.

I don't believe there's currently any alternatives to ASML's machines for EUV lithography. Unless you're fine using an older process node with lower efficiency. Of course these nodes are fine for a lot of applications still, but I have trouble believing there's any alternatives for cutting edge CPUs, GPUs, etc.

> if they could

Are you sure, even Microsoft had the decency to not extort their business users this much back in the 80s and 90s.

Microsoft store is already there

soon the move towards mass remote attestation will finally arrive and that'll be the only approved place to install software

Short-term, yes. Long-term, these apps and services will start looking into offering hardware solutions of their own to become competitors, not providers.
