Your analysis is missing a key insight, IMO! A certain level of overconfident, frivolous, imprudent, despotic and narcissistic financial and professional delusion may be necessary for the inception of a design of this caliber, IMO.
The phrase if I succeed I'm a genius if I fail I'm a monster comes to mind

How do they arrive at 91 floors for this building?

The building is made up of five segments separated by four two-storey mechanical levels.
The three center segments are identical at 18 storeys each and total 54.
The upper segment is 12 floors, that makes 66.
Four mechanical levels at two storeys apiece brings it to 74
The lowest segment ( commercial, hotel etc. ) has 14 floors making it 88
Then there is the first floor for a total of 89.

What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

The ground floor (of the tower) technically counts as three floors due to its height as the podiums on either side have mid floors that aren't built in the tower portion at ground hence the story count

Edit. It may count as two but the ground floor definitely counts as multiple stories

Isn’t there also a rooftop section for the penthouses, which will be the 91st floor?
