What in the actual fsck? Check out this list of companies ranked by the number of employees they have - https://companiesmarketcap.com/largest-companies-by-number-o.... Okay, Amazon is #2 - but notice the top 100 doesn't include Apple. There's a lot more to business than FAANG.

#3You actually do need to be scalable if you intend to serve more than a few thousand concurrent customers.

#8Well it depends on what you're selling! Design for what you truly want to sell, and that will end up however it needs to end up, whether that's enterprise or not. This random blogger, and our random comments, can't tell you what you need. It has to emerge from the product development process like a sculpture from a block of marble.

I agree with article because you don't need to have it to "start talking" with Enterprise customers.
You probably have to prove that you have these on your roadmap and that you have engineering team that can implement these in not so distant future. That you know these things exist and have will to invest in it in future.
