That just means that it will only return elements that are descendants, 
but selects are still evaluated in the context of the entire tree.

   div.querySelector(":scope");

won't return anything, since the the selecor is referring to the element 
itself and is therefore quite a useless thing to do, but:

   div.querySelector(":scope>span")

will return only span elements that are children of that div element.
