Journalists are bad at math, surprise.

"pace of adoption" = % YoY growth. As the market matures and grows, it will no longer be able to "double" or "triple" in a short amount of time. A market with a fixed cap cannot sustain indefinite exponential growth; it will be a logistic function at best. This is simply a mathematical certainty; anyone who expected otherwise is a complete idiot undeserving to report on markets.
