Are you under the impression that CPUs are made exclusively from NAND gates? You can't be serious.
Might’ve gotten mixed up with CMOS dominance, or I’m ignorant.

I'm guessing is what they're really talking about. Which is not about NAND gates.
Just to add a bit, but modern digital circuits are almost exclusively MOS, but even the "complementary" bit isn't universal in a large IC.
I believe you're not ignorant. But many folks probably lack the process knowledge (CMOS) required to understand why :-)
