Sure but Salesforce has natural sharding. Customers never need to see each other's data. So can a single DB hold the largest customer? That is more the question here...

Correct and incorrect at the same time. Separate orgs may not need direct access to each others rows in the multi-tenant database, but there are plenty of use cases where data does need to be shared between them (companies with multiple orgs, like ours - business parters, etc) and Salesforce has tooling to handle this (Salesforce to Salesforce, Lightning Connect).
