That's a silly the thought. ASML isn't controlled by the Dutch government.
Also, everything in computing is dependent on semiconductors. ASML is just one player. There are tens of thousands companies involved in the industry and some of them are single suppliers of critical materials, machines or software. It's wrong to single out ASML.
