Any website could fail because of router misconfiguration, BGP errors (see Youtube), or DNS issues outside of your control.

The point is that it won't fail because of me. I don't have to optimize SQL queries or launch new instances or rewrite my backend in C. It just works, for 1 user or 1 billion.

You still need to serve a static HTML page, even if most of the body content loads from elsewhere. Serving a small static HTML file certainly scales well, but not infinitely.
