You're right.. It's not all that hard to scale, and on top of that a single server really can support a lot of users. I built the back-end for an app in the App Store with well over 100k downloads and tons of active users.. It runs on 2 servers with a load balancer, and is total overkill. I could dispose of the load balancer and just run it all on one server. I have a real problem with them blaming piracy for this, when there are many things they could have done to address the issue, as you mentioned.
