This comment caused it to occur to me that working in software development might produce a distorted view of this situation. In most types of companies, if you want to scale, you have to hire a lot more people to build more things and sell to more people. So scaling large is a much more natural thing to do. And cultural norms around that might then just spread to corporations where that’s less relevant.
