They are implying that due to smaller features, the transistors change and if these models still hold for those smaller transistors.

I think the crux of the matter is the transition from 7 nm down to our modern nodes, where the major change was not only going from DUV to EUV, but perhaps more importantly the change from finFET to multi-gate or gate-all-around FET (GAAFET), where this model probably needs significant updates to be still valid.
This feels like a hn breakthrough.
