Note that I wrote that in 2018 based on hearsay from well before that (I live in the area and have friends who worked at ASML at the time). Things might’ve changed in the ~10 years since then (for better or worse!).
EDIT: there’s a commenter named hcfman here in the thread who works at ASML and says that my comment is garbage (which I take to mean that it’s way outdated). Consider updating your impression accordingly, I see no reason to doubt what they’re saying. Last I checked ASML really did want to improve the software situation, looks like they did.
