Spending 5x the effort to redesign when you have 10x the money/resources isn't an unreasonable tradeoff. Since the vast majority of early stage startups fail spending money on things which don't matter until they succeed is not a good business decision. Of course, WeWork at this point had 1500 engineers so calling it a small startup or using it as a case study (either way) for small startups seems a bit silly.
