It depends on what sort of thing Moore’s Law is. Maybe we’d be better off if it were called Moore’s Intriguing Observation.
There’s economic pressure to make information processing cheaper, faster, and more efficient, but that’s only important if the improvements are physically possible at present levels of knowledge.
There’s economic pressure to improve batteries, but improvements aren’t happening nearly as fast.
Moore’s Law takes the form of a law, but it doesn’t have have the weight of observation behind it that the law of Gravity does.
Moore’s Law started taking effect at some point. It’s very likely that it will come to an end.
If we had a bunch of independent intelligent species and knew their computation development curves, we’d have something a lot more like a Law.

I don’t understand this distinction. Moore’s Law appears to take the form of a law.
