That seems backwards to me. Sure, a GPU core is less general, but in terms of concurrent execution, memory bandwidth, and FLOPS I would expect hundreds to thousands of cores for all new GPU offerings. Apple’s double-digit GPU core counts for instance sound extremely understated.

It's not. The best comparison is the SM count for Nvidia hardware, or the wavefront count for AMD hardware. So a 4070 has 46 cores as you'd count them on a CPU.

If you have a truck that can carry 64 boxes, then according to Nvidia marketing each box would be considered its own core even though the boxes all go the same way.
Meanwhile if you had 64 passengers cars, then each of them would be able to drive a different route at the same time and if you counted the seats you would actually end up with 320 "Nvidia cores".
