Don't forget that yields decrease exponentially with size too... not linearly

Source?

Unless it's based on the fact that when the chip size grows, less chips fit on the wafer, AND when the chip size grows, there is higher chance to have a defect on the chip.

So actually that makes some sense. Defect rate grows linearly, while chips per wafer decrease linearly. As these two add up, yields decrease expotentially. No?
