Like you said, I'm starting to ignore the "nm" units and just think of these new processes in terms of generation id numbers.
The thing is, I don't really care that they're fudging the numbers for marketing, because at the end of the day the end result for me as a consumer is awesome.
High-end products like my iPhone X, AirPods, NVIDIA 2080 RTX, or the upcoming AMD Threadripper 2 chips are simply mind-blowing to me. The ridiculously huge transistor density has put crazy amounts of computer power in my hands and I absolutely love it.
I'm constantly excited for what the future will bring, and from what I can it'll just keep on getting ever more spectacular.
If some foundry dumps $20B of investment and man-centuries of cutting edge research into technology this awesome, they can call it whatever they want.
