...ease of dividing people into smaller teams where a team could focus on a single objective without worrying about rest of the company.
How's that working out for you?
In most cases, and I'm talking right up to the scale of very large enterprises[1] you don't need that much complexity to scale technically and, if you avoid the complexity, you don't need that many people either.
And I don't think you can ever afford to be myopic if you want to effectively deliver solutions to real business problems.

This is absolutely correct. The best teams I've worked on understand both the business and the technical domain, and are able to leverage synergies to keep things simple.
