Didn't know that, I still don't use Instagram lol. So yeah exactly - it's easy to run a simple app with a few devs. Iirc in Singapore, Netflix has a reasonably sized team just dealing with payments. Presumably for a global business, payments is a pretty gnarly long tail of integrations (never worked with payments so pretty ignorant on the subject) not to mention I wonder whether they also are onboarding content distributors onto some kind of automated payment platform so they can very quickly churn content libraries or attribute some kind of viewing related payment... I guess tldr doing business is complex and needs lots of engineers vs making a small and focused app.
