EA Maturity in a Bank Is Not EA Maturity in an Airline. So Why Do Generic EA Maturity Models Treat Them the Same?

The issue is not whether EA maturity was assessed. The issue is whether the maturity assessment tested the real decisions the industry runs on.
A bank and an airline may both have EA teams. Both may have architecture governance. Both may have principles, standards, roadmaps, repositories, review boards, tools, and certified architects. Both may even receive a high EA maturity score.
But they do not run on the same enterprise decisions. A bank does not operate like an airline. An airline does not operate like a hospital. A hospital does not operate like a telecom operator. A tourism fund does not operate like a police department.
So the real question is simple:
If the industries are different, if the decisions are different, if the risks are different, if the operational logic is different, why are they often assessed using the same generic EA maturity questions?
That is where the maturity gap begins.
