Smallest features are around 13nm due to EUV wavelength. I think people incorporated hacks to etch smaller stuff but not much smaller.
I think it is similar stuff as with Moore's "law" that is not an actuall law only a trend or myth.
In the 70' 80' 90' that number represented an actuall size and it stuck into 00' 10' and 20'
There's also an argument out there that companies should stop talking about feature sizes (that are fudged for marketing all the time, anyway) and instead talk about density of components.
Also, if you think Moore's Law is about density of components, then the industry has kept up. However, that's not actually what Moore claimed way back when: https://wumpus-cave.net/post/2024/03/2024-03-20-moores-law-is-dead/index.html
Those are all marketing names not real dimensions.

God, it's like women's clothing sizes all over again.
