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.
