Moore’s law was about count, not density.

I mean, strictly speaking, you're technically correct. Informally, though, it's a proxy for transistor density.

It was about cost. https://hasler.ece.gatech.edu/Published_papers/Technology_ov...

Yes, count for optimum cost per transistor. So perhaps GP's statement was incomplete but not wrong.
