TCAMs as shown in that page haven’t been used for a very very long time. Even in basic switches now the solution is ‘algorithmic TCAM’ (ie. something like hashtables or tries).
Huge numbers of routes are simply not an issue these days, unless you have truly ancient crappy equipment (maybe it was second hand for example).
