Nanometers have actually been a marker of generation for quite a while. 3nm is actually 24. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_nm_process

Intel does it and it's annoying. 7mm lithography is actually 10nm. No idea how they get away with false advertising.

If they do 10nm++++ people also get angry.

Maybe use anything other than nm then?

That seems... Illegal. Much the same as selling a "foot long" Sub or Hotdog which is only 11".

At the very least it's misleading.
