It's a bit much to call it a "hack". ASML & collaborators have created an EUV source that works at the scale needed to mass manufacture chips. It's not something held together with duct tape. Yeah maybe a little accelerator is theoretically elegant, but some among the thousands of engineers and scientists that have worked on their EUV probably considered that.
