I’ve never worked anywhere where that was really necessary. Even when I worked at Microsoft, the services my team built needed to be big scale, high perf, etc… But they would have easily run on a fixed number of beefy machines even at our peak load for a fraction of the cost of Azure.

It really was necessary due to some silly people not listening to me 2-years ago and ignoring technical debt until it got to the point the service they sold with a 1.5 million penalty fee for failing to deliver was needed to be delivered and load tested.
And that is literally the largest AWS Elasticsearch cluster option. So clearly that will be deployed for multiple orginsations. Otherwise they wouldn't have created a default node that size.
