A lot of lithography equipment for the top tier stuff is made by 1 supplier

So maybe invest in that and become another top-tier supplier of lithography equipment?

    Or just build hardware that's easier to make

    I would gladly go back to 2012-era hardware if it meant I could afford it and people maintained software for it

    But you can!

    Just buy up used stuff, computers nowadays are very resilient.

    I have a 6 gen intel Linux, works like a charm., and a 8 gen for "gaming n stuff" (windoze), I even got my hands on a recent laptop for 100€...

    No need to buy that latest stuff, IMO.

    That's about as hard to do as making the chips in the first place... So that also would take 10+ years of r&d and build up.

    There's a reason it's taken China literally decades to catch up with home grown alteratives and they still aren't entirely there.
