ASML never raises price above capability gains

ASML is unusually generous: despite a monopoly on EUV with no competitor close, it has never raised tool prices more than it has increased capability (throughput, overlay accuracy)—tools went from ~$150M to ~$400M while capabilities more than doubled—always delivering net benefit to customers, unlike Nvidia or memory vendors who take the available margin.
