Practically no actual real phenomena are exponential. The beginning of a logistics S-curve looks exponential at first. But that's before the overhead / carrying costs / consequences of the initial increase scale up along with whatever is being measured and it settles to the new level. Most changes are step-function increases which get there slowly, then all at once, before tailing off.
