I imagine its still super simple to have one core app that handles most of the logic and then a job queue system that runs these high load jobs on worker machines.

Much simpler than having everything split.

Worker machines sound like horizontal scaling to me.

Sure but its a massive amount simpler than some massively distributed microservice app where every component runs on multiple servers.

Most of these vertical scaling examples given actually do use multiple servers but the core is one very powerful server.
