7nm is not the end of Moore's law. The whole reason why there are problems now is because they are switching from paradigm. ASML is the largest supplier of photolithography systems and has been upgraded from 32 nm to the next 10 nm. However, as the new EUV machines are being put into production. It does not make financial sense to still make the 10 nm chips. As buying the new machines and infrastructure is a huge investment, you can understand that some companies are focussing on the existing 10 nm machines (maybe focus on lower end of the market). The problems with EUV are mainly starting problems with using different technology, IBM has already made 7nm chips and ASML has 5nm and 3nm in their roadmap[1].
