I know, but my argument is that a lot of time (not always, of course) the "distributed" issues could just be solved by not building a distributed system in the first place and just having more efficient tech stacks & a few big servers.

Stackoverflow was just using 4 db servers in 2016 (https://nickcraver.com/blog/2016/02/17/stack-overflow-the-ar...)
