It's not tricking people because the vast majority of layman don't even care about node size, gate size or the manufacturing process. The number of times I have encountered a person outside of a tech bubble that cared about the manufacturing process of a CPU is exactly zero. What people do care about: does it work, is it fast, is it efficient and can I afford it. At least for performance and efficiency the marketing term does give a somewhat reliable indication of the generational gains.
