This is not true... Many people are content to make their small indie games, or OSS projects with a small but involved community of users. The pressure that one must hit planetary scale is not universal, although it does drone on in the background...

You still have to do most of the work of getting from 1 to 7 billion in the 1 to say 1000 phase... the higher orders of scaling are mostly handled by infrastructure that's mostly agnostic to code specifics, right?

That's not my experience as an engineer at all. If company starts as a small experiment and then grows, it typically goes through at least one total rewrite (often more). Initially, you want speed of iteration. As you scale, you value perfomance much more.
