I don't think they're completely not looking for that entire type of answer, but those examples are pretty dry and don't really go into the reasoning for your opinion, which is probably what they're worried about. Whenever you say something isn't worth considering or doesn't seem necessary, you should be explaining exactly why you think that, and exactly where it would be worth considering or seem necessary, because otherwise you just look like someone who simply doesn't care about whatever kind of scalability they're asking about.
