I think its because the only really viable scaling option for Postgres is vertical scaling. Even just setting up any sort of replication with automatic failover is still a pain (multimaster is not yet built in, master-slave also needs 3rd party failover program...)

So, how large would his application have to get before that became a problem?

  Replication with automatic failover? I'd go for it immediately, unless you are okay with long downtime and some data loss in case the server goes down. But if you can live with that, then yes, you're unlikely to have actual scaling problems - at least not for projects like the OP.
