Perhaps Intel sees the high cost that a 10nm process will have: Intel is perhaps in an arms race with other vendors as (particularly) TSMC, Samsung and Global Foundries. If they offer older processes for a much cheaper price, Intel will have difficulties justifying much higher prices for 10nm. So Intel perhaps considers that other things (even if most of them will fail) will have a higher rate of return in the future.
