I can't speak for the parent, but I think what he's saying is that these are phenomena that start to become apparent at extremely high aggregate throughput rates with extremely high device density - i.e., Google scale.
By saying it's "inappropriate for datacenters," I think he painted too broad a brush - obviously not all are the same, and not all run at Google scale. Depends on the datacenter and the workload.

On a perfect network any protocol will do the job. All real network are imperfect, which is why the congestion control features of TCP and QUIC are worth discussing.
