The annoying thing about computing is that every damn thing has to be live in an environment of scale. It's like if there were only 2 scales of cooking: cooking a meal for your family at home, and cooking for the entire planet. No intermediate scales of intermediate difficulty.

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...

No, absolutely not. In context of game development, increasing perfomance by 20% can take 10x more engineering work (and all art would have to be remade, too).
