I have a photocopy of a memo from Gordon Moore as part of my computer systems lectures notes that endorses a broader meaning of Moore's law. And more to the point from the descriptivist standpoint, the phrase "Moore's Law" was first used in '75 shortly after people started thinking about Dennard scaling and I don't think there was every a time that the phrase was consistently used only to talk about transistor count since that, in practice for the first 30 years, always went together with transistor density, clock speed, and power efficiency.
