Hive is getting less expensive to run. The next update (hard fork) is rather boring from a feature standpoint but much better in terms of functionality. This will mean that, over time, the ability to scale is greatly improved by laying the data down much better.
Also Hive does not have the smart contract at the base layer like EOS (and ETH) meaning it can run much more efficiently. This "specialization" opts for performance over the ability to service every application.

Awesome, so its a case that the data formatting/ compression is where Hive differs? Is there an upper limit on that scaling? Is it a case that the witnesses will just have to keep increasing resources in order to keep up with demand on the chain (should it come)?
Loads of questions I know but trying to understand fully where we could fall down like others have in the past.
