I wouldn't say it's rationalization.
Surviving the initial scaling is an horrible experience, full of technical gotchas. People that have seen that will naturally want to avoid it. The problem is that it's an irrational desire, because what they do to avoid it destroys most of their chances to even get there.
It looks like a manifestation of the second system syndrome.

Like, it doesn't need to be a horrible experience, and it can be done in a controlled setting before even launching if one wants to. But this doesn't really seem to be that common, just by judging how rarely it's brought up in the pop-software dev sphere.
