You mean like ASML already is? They are the only manufacturer of EUV lithography equipment for fabs.

Yep, they are another good example.

Intel is really not that far behind TSMC in the grand scheme of things, though, so it would be good to hang on to them before the situation is totally hopeless.

I'm not aware, at least, of any US competition to ASML.

Except that Intel currently fabs ASICs for roughly 0% of the cell phone market. TSMC has a massive lead on that front. Intel selling off StrongARM 16 years ago was massively shortsighted.
