It's not uncommon for different components to scale differently.
They're often literally made out of different metals that have different resistance characteristics at different wire gauges, for example.
Interconnects was a very famous case, but many aspects of electrical engineering change when you get that small, because hey if you shrink the diameter of a wire by half guess what happens to the volume.
Semiconductor engineering is the field of dealing with a thousand of these tiny problems, and an improvement in the photolithography wavelengths is actually an abstraction of solving the thousands of tiny problems involved with all the different materials.
