ASML is "just a wrapper" for US technology licensed to them because Canon and Nikon were too close in size to each other to privilege one or the other. So we bestowed it on guy #3 (who bought guy #4) out of preventing anti-competition.

Sure, all technology is invented in the US. Only the US

Not all. Maybe the majority of modern inventions. And definitely EUV tech.

None of this wrapper talk is real but to the degree it’s true for TSMC it’s true for ASML.

what is the source of your assumption that the majority of modern invensions is US based?

For EUV it's Japan, Netherlands, Germany, US:
