I used to work in semi- in Asia, and it was pretty loose compared to Financial and Pharma. Maybe things have gotten tighter, but...

I think it depends on the tier at which the company does its business in. Is the OEM involved in the latest nodes, or are they working with sizes >100nm?

Secrets are kept tight for any company with any tech relating to the latest nodes <10nm. It just so happens that IBM has been working on sub-10nm processes for a long time, so they have a lot of secrets to keep, hence I am not surprised by the article heading.

I get your point, but even when everyone was at a micron, 100nm was the super-secret stuff. This "ratio" has been a constant for ~40 years.
