And the register has misrepresented Moore's law, which is a law about the number of transistors in a microprocessor, not about its performance.

Only partly. Comments like “While [the semiconductor industry] created new process nodes like clockwork, the capital requirements to develop those new devices climbed nearly exponentially” are very much to the point: Moore’s Law (transistor density) meets Rock’s Law (the ever-increasing price of a fab).
