This is pretty common among companies that make the consumer->enterprise transition. Also see Dropbox, Slack, etc.
None of what they just released impacts the GH Enterprise side of things. Maybe it will long down the line, but suffice it to say, none of this sells or keeps customers of GH Enterprise. The reality is, we've questioned our use of GH, and while we are still paying for GHE, it's more or less because it's just not expensive enough at this point to justify switching to something else. We'd have to update some tooling, and migrating would require time.
Basically, GHE is a glorified code repository viewer, and even then, it does a substandard job of that. Seriously, the ability to browse and search painful.
So yeah, if they are focused on GHE, these features don't suggest that.
Hey just an FYI, we (my company, not GitHub) are working on improving the browsing/searching situation for GitHub and GitHub Enterprise. You can see a list of the improvements at:
http://gitsense.github.io/github+gitsense.html
We've only really started advertising in the last 3 months, but what has been quite clear is, people really overestimate what GitHub and their API's are capable of. This is not a criticism against GitHub, but more of a high praise for how well they have cultivated the GitHub brand.
People really think GitHub not implementing commits search, or not being able to search forked repositories (which is pretty bad from an Enterprise point of view), is because it's not sexy, which is why they haven't implemented it yet. And when they see what we are capable of doing with GitHub, they just assume we are using GitHub's API, when in reality, the only time we use GitHub's API is to get somebody's avatar.
We obviously can't complain though, as it provides us with a business opportunity.
Then have a look at the GHE release notes. 2.5 introduces clustering to improve scaling of large instances, which is really nice for large orgs like my day job in SAP Cloud Infrastructure.
