The feature side usually does decrease every generation; it's just that the feature size for, say, a "7nm" process is not exactly 7nm.

The power of recursive reasoning. Induction tells us that Intel's 10nm process probably wasn't 10nm features...

I am wildly speculating here, but maybe going 3rd dimension?
