Isn't that market dominated by a few, or at the max, no more than 10-15 companies? My point is just that are there really more than a few dozen or maybe a hundred companies that see more than 1000 req/sec (on web apps)?

Depends if you're talking maximum or average. Getting to the front page of HN could easily give you a burst of 1000 req/sec. I would agree there's very few CRUD apps that deal with 1000 req/sec on average.

On the other hands, there's various APIs and tracking type of services that probably do handle well in excess of that, being run by not-large companies none of us have ever heard of.
