G185 is a technique that explicitly focuses on small sites with just a few pages - it covers an exception where linking back to home from all pages would be sufficient to meet SC 2.4.5 without a second means of navigation like search or site map. At least this is my understanding. So this technique is clearly not applicable to a site with millions of pages.
