It occurs to me that maybe the benefit of constant improvement (from competition) is worth more than the discount you get for doing something at scale. Otherwise, I'd expect people to buy from/hire the existing companies that can offer lower prices thanks to being established, rather than new companies which have to deal with startup costs. Or maybe the whole scale thing doesn't actually work like that when improvement is quick enough.
