Why would a change in the unit of length change the marketing practices of the silicone foundries?

It wouldn't, but marketing based on an objective metric is better than inventing metrics or tying them to abstract concepts like a carbon tax (a carbon tax is a banker's solution to global warming, ie how can we profit from it).

The (total) qualifier was just because I realize node sizes are measured slightly different depending on the foundry, ie TSMC and Intel mean different things when they say 10nm.
