Much of ASML's underlying DUV/EUV technology is developed by it's Cymer division (which they acquired) which is based in California.

Why would it surprise you that the US wants to enact some export restrictions on technology that is developed in the US?

Wasn't that mostly for DUV ? I thought EUV was actually based on TSMC R&D.

Nope EUV is Cymer. TSMC, Apple and Huawei pooled talent and R&D on 7, 5, 3nm development so they could build their mobile chips. Probably because huawei had all that experience in 7 and 5nm they can guide SMIC in getting the yield up. Also dont forgot SMIC got a lot of top talent from TSMC.
