This is surely resume (or consultant) driven development in action. High Scalability™ is like an epic side quest in the game of making software. The final boss at the end of the quest, Yagni, can only be defeated by those who have reached a large enough scale already. Many attempt the side quest too early and as a result get so distracted that they suffer delays or even lose the whole game.
