Yeah, finfets and ongoing transition to gate all around fets is basically more efficient, but geometrically more complicated ways to build a transistor.
Don't get me wrong, the components are still shrinking, EUV rollout has been a gamechanger for that. But that shrinking doesn't keep pace with nanometer node numbers anymore because modern transistors are just not the same as planar process transistors were.
