Moore's Law is a limit that ultimately arises from economics. The costs to keep Moore's Law going are exponential (just like the gain), and fewer and fewer companies are willing to pay the increasingly high price.
I was always primed to believe the exponential gains were essentially "free" and came with a fixed amount of investment into the industry. Understanding that this isn't true explains why Moore's Law will end unless demand is exponentially increasing.
