That's a continuation of moore's law, it's the same as having a bigger chip horizontally, or more chips. You can make giant chips but you need giants bank accounts.

It does not reduce price per transistor because each layer still has to be manufactured the same way

Sort of true, except you can use cheaper process scales for some of the layers.

The silicon is not actually the expensive part.
