Yes, large companies have solved their own money-making problems of scale by becoming so large that problems that we find important as a society become ignorable for their bottom line.
That doesn't mean that they've solved the problems of scale that we care about as a society.
For companies the size of Paypal, Google, or Twitter, the revenue from their operations is so great that leaving a few crumbs on the table by not handling corner cases is of no concern.
Smaller companies can't afford to lose (for example) 10% of their business to corner cases. For large monopolies, a 90% solution is more than good enough.
