why do die shrinks in computer occur in increments & not huge jumps?

For example i notice that the latest chips are 3 nm & below, & over the last decade i’ve seen it shrink little by little. What is it about this process that more money needs to be poured into each die shrink, & why couldn’t we just jump from 90nm to 3nm instead pf 65nm etc etc?

Isn’t this the case with any technology ?

why did it take decades for cars to go over 400km/h ? why didn’t we get 1Gbps internet in 1996 ? why did we have to have full HD before 4K ??
