Well sure...but the thing about software that's different from say taxis or commercial real estate is that once you build a product the marginal cost to scale it up is close to zero. This is what drives the valuation multipliers of growing tech companies. If your software requires 10x the engineers to support 10x the usage I'd say such valuations are not justified.

There's some overhead in when payment methods start changing, and complying with local laws in a new metro, but it's pretty damn close pure geo sharding.
