Business capabilities vs componentization

Correct me if I'm wrong but, from his speech around the problems they're facing primarily with maintainability and extensibility, it seems that they didn't implement microservices around business capabilities but rather towards technical componentization and thus they have bunch of services to change (and teams to communicate with) when they need to change or add a new business feature.
Also, the part that where he's talking about User service and changing and evolving it's schema, it definitely looks like that there are different business forces applied to the schema of a single service and that's exactly the problem that typical layered architecture faces and why microservices was originally proposed as one of the options towards better solution.
