Fair enough, but why are these progressions commonly called cycles of fifths then?
Some might call them sevenths, but that’s more the individual composition of the chord themselves. Surely each is a fifth chord for a different key - E for A, A for D, D for G, and G fo C - but only the last one in the sequence (G7) resolves to the home key (C in this case), the rest being intermittent or false resolutions?
