Being global is a big part of it. Imagine trying to follow regulations for thousands of products that reside within the apps in every country in the world. You need to have engineers who can localize, work with legal teams who understand global and regional requirements. You need folks to work with the local version of the FTC if you are under consent agreements. Your HR team has to be experts in local employment law in every jurisdiction, especially during layoffs. Folks who haven't worked on products that cross jurisdiction (and for a company that has a LOT of attention on it, due to being so much in the press) - it's just a completely different scale. Heuristics for headcount in a single country just don't really work.
