There's a cost to breaking contracts like these. You can't change your mind two years down the line without paying a fine. ASML isn't stupid.

That said, computers are here to stay. Even if FABs can't sell chips at ridiculous prices, there will be a return on investment on these machines, even if it's not as high as originally hoped.

There will be at some point, but probably not until the quarter they start building your machine.
