You're right, of course, but when people say "it doesn't scale" they tend to mean "it doesn't scale at with a near-zero marginal cost".
Maybe we should be calling out that wording.

You can't run 100 walmarts with the same employees as 1 Walmart, and Walmart knows that and is very successful in spite of it.
