They would rarely be partitioned because of all the waste - workloads are typically placed cotenant into 1 machine (VMs, containers, normal multi-processing, etc). But I believe you’re right that cumulatively there would be a lot of long tail services that consume resources and the cumulative inefficiencies aren’t being optimized because it’s work that doesn’t scale (i.e. you’d have to fix too many performance issues on services no one cares to make a visible overall dent). Not sure why you’re downvoted though - it’s an astute observation.
