So ASML, Nikon, and Canon are wafer stepper manufacturers. The use Zeiss,
Nikon & Canon glass respectivley.

Hang on. You say that only Canon make wafer steppers, & the glass for such
steppers? That is a direct contradiciton to your above statement.

Or do you mean that only Canon make the package (stepper, stepper glass,
sensors, cameras & camera glass). Do Nikon not make sensors then? Because
they make steppers, stepper glass (as per top para), definitely make cameras
& camera glass.
