I had been confused by the broken Indonesian used in the interview. Interpreting the meaning in an understandable Bahasa Indonesia version has been quite hard - let alone rendering it into English!
Many thanks for all contributions. I choose this answer as the most suitable one.

disagree  lwijaya: "surely" artinya lebih seperti "masa sih...", misal: "Surely you want to get promoted someday?" = "masa sih kamu tidak mau naik pangkat sama sekali?"; biasanya lebih banyak digunakan dalam kalimat tanya

untuk konteks ini saya kira sih disini lebih ke 'mostly'

Mostly on product's selling point.

But in this context sih kayaknya 'mostly'
