To be fair, the majority of bread-and-butter semiconductor manufacturing probably doesn't need EUV process nodes. You only really need that level of technology if you want to make cutting-edge (10nm or so) devices like microprocessors.
The majority of semiconductor manufacturing is still in the 200nm range -- better yields, cheaper processes, more resilient chips. Some of it is still in the 1um (1 micron) range.
