I’m surprised it had a server minimum. Seems like it should architecturally scale from 1 to whatever. But I guess it isn’t as simple as the front page makes it seem. I assumed it works like a simple distributed compute and storage system

It's not real enforced minimum, only "minimum against server failure". You can run it on one server, but you won't get distributed failover storage (something like RAID).
