This is a crap article tbh They don't take any requierments and build a 5min poc with no constrains.

For instance their demo doesn't update anything, Uber updates location every seconds, I'd like to see how PG behaves when you rebuild index thousand time per seconds.

No, that was not a requirement. This is not the database for the locations of cars, but the database with human defined geofences which probably only update a couple of times per day. The database is used to check e.g. if a customer is currently at an airport or not. That is a very normal and simple GIS workload.
