The majority ICs used for products and such do not need bleeding edge node sizes.

True. That is part of the reason why only 3 of maybe 30-60 layers are that small.

Analog gets some signal integrity benefits from larger transistors, and often we have fairly large fets for low rdson and high voltage tolerance.
