It's not web components that were working for them at scale, but Polymer.
They would've probably nebver completed anything with Web Components alone due to how horrendously bad their API is. You can compare Web Components API and Polymer API here: https://twitter.com/dmitriid/status/865518972380237825
It still took them over two years to switch from Custom Elements v0 to Custom Elements v1.
