Considering Rocket Lake is about 30% larger than Comet Lake despite having 2 less cores, they had to unless they wanted to reduce their margins, which the investors wouldn't have liked at all.

They should have just refreshed Comet Lake... But pushed more core counts to every tier.
I.E:
Core i3 at 6 cores rather than 4.
Core i5 at 8 cores rather than 6.
Core i7 at 10 cores rather than 8.

And then made a 12-core chip for the Core i9.

Increase clocks by 100mhz-200mhz and it would have been far more compelling than what we have today.

I agree. But it's probable Intel hoped thy could get more out of Ice Lake when produced in 14nm and I think here too investors were getting restless, so they had to switch architecture for them.
