What's the difference between "something even Google hasn’t been able to do" and "their scaling requirements made it impractical"? When you get past the semantics, it's essentially the same thing. Either way, they're not doing it.

Lack of action doesn't imply inability. That's what's different.

A parked car is not a car that's not able to drive. It's a car that's not driving.

The end user only cares whether its driving. If it's not moving, the user doesn't really care why.
