The proof of that would be how they would handle thousands of index cards. It seems to me that most of these index card software focus on dealing with a single writing project, so they are more like the equivalent of a physical corkboard or a large table (or a small box) with a manageable number of cards.

Zettelkasten software in contrast would be like the equivalent of a massive filing cabinet full of thousands of index cards.
