How much profit would ASML lose to this ban? Maybe they'll get a couple hundred million dollars in annual compensation from the U.S. gov?
The bigger worry is China pushing a home grown company to produce the same equipment and provide whatever state resources they need.
Hard to protect against espionage and hard to compete with a company that has massive state subsidies.
Easier to just sell them the equipment to prevent this.
Note: they can already produce DUV equipment, just probably not economically viable (yet)
