15 years ago I ran a website (Django+Postgres+memcached) serving 50k unique daily visitors on a dirt cheap vps. Even back then the scalability issues were overstated.

As the stock market prices now expected future growth, architecture had to justify rising stock prices by promising future scalability.

It was never about the actual workloads, much more about growth projections. And a whole lot of cargo cult behavior.
