Close, except it's not a marketing term. It's part of a published IEEE standard.
The actual gate pitch and metal pitch vary by manufacturer and process type.
From Wikipedia:
The term "3 nanometer" has no direct relation to any actual physical feature (such as gate length, metal pitch, or gate pitch) of the transistors. According to the projections contained in the 2021 update of the International Roadmap for Devices and Systems published by IEEE Standards Association Industry Connection, a 3 nm node is expected to have a contacted gate pitch of 48 nanometers, and a tightest metal pitch of 24 nanometers.[12]
What you described isn't "talking out of his ass". It's making a logical hypotheses based on the info provided. You even contradict yourself by calling it an educated guess.
It's pretty common to have a free version with ads and a paid version/unlocked version. Are people just mad that the free version has more tracking/ad sources now?
