I'd say that they are. Graphene has to serve up the installs for all the different devices they support. That's a lot of data to shift. On top of that there is pumping out updates every second day. Then there is user support. All of these will scale.
I don't know why this point is so important to you. Of course the two organisations aren't 100% comparible but there are strong similarities. Both are tech, both nonprofit, both offering a free product for the greater good and both rely on donations. Both will have costs that scale - they might not be the same to-the-penny but they will exist. Thats just the nature of the beast.
