What it actually says is:
The widespread deployment of VPNs has been hampered, however, by the lack of interoperable implementations, which, in turn, derives from the lack of general agreement on the definition and scope of VPNs and confusion over the wide variety of solutions that are all described by the term VPN.
Some people's ideas of the definition and scope of "VPN" might have involved the requirement that it terminate on a private network, but others would not.
