I'm having trouble understanding how one could run into a bottleneck only after you reach Facebook or Google or levels. Surely if you have performance issues when you are running on 10,000 machines, you would also have a bottleneck when you start to outgrow your single machine.

Why would you need more than a single machine to serve a request? You need multiple machines to serve many requests concurrently.
