ASML is the only provider of EUV lithographic machines. TSMC is just slightly ahead of Samsung and Intel at utilizing that technology. I honestly can't see how anymore puts TSMC above ASML.

Yeah this story doesn't make much sense. Intel and Samsung are only a few years behind TSMC, recreating ASML and their sole suppliers even within 10 years would be quite a stretch.

ASML is concentrated in a country that has been politically stable and uncontested for 80 years and doesn't seek the media spotlight. It is easy to overlook. Nobody really pays much attention to the Netherlands or it's non existing foreign ambitions and there is no state involvement in ASML. Basically no drama means no journalism.
