As always, you cannot make blanket statements with software such as "you don't need to worry about scale".
Perhaps your application does need to worry about scale and then if you don't then you're a fool. Then you launch, succeed and collapse or get beaten by competition because the effort to scale was beyond you in the needed time.
The blanket statement that is true about software is "be wary of blanket statements about software development".

They're not dealing with complex performance bottlenecks, so they say these efforts are wasted.
