Volume and latency requirements make it more difficult to track individuals on the web. It's an easier problem to solve in 50ms. It's also much easier to solve when it's only a million individuals rather than a couple hundred million individuals.

Like most problems, scale makes it hard.

It's simply not a difficult problem: there are no consensus requirements between individuals, so scaling can't be made any harder by increasing N.
