> 180nm is potato quality - many many generations behind. So far behind it might actually be more expensive to get chips than at 110/65nm, although I’m only speculating here.

I mean that is year 2000 level-tech. PlayStation 2/Pentium 3/AMD Duron/GameCube levels. That is not potato. You can definitely do things with it.
