I think the author is drawing parallels between enterprise and data volumes that need to be managed. While that is a way to look at it, in my pre-sales experience it revolves around the complexity in terms of system functionality expected and the ecosystem of applications it needs to play along with. I would also add the importance of different ratings and certifications a system needs to have to make it enterprise ready along with its ability to meet varios legal requirements in each country it sells in. Example: GDPR, data residency laws, tokenisation for payments to name a few that a lot of tools still struggle with. The expectation of the word scalability changes based on who you took ot: concurrent users, througput of data managed, data stored, processing time, system maintenance, feature extension, you name it. No system checks all the boxes 100% while still meeting the budget defined by a company.
