Thanks for the nice explanation of the difference between performance and scaling.
As discussed in dev.to/ben/solving-imaginary-scali...
scale though, building for scalability isn't always necessary. There is definite overhead in making everything scalable, and it's often not justifiable for current loads on a system.
It's also possible that improving performance is a reasonable solution to some load issues. Handling 2-10 times as many users is often a big enough gain to not need large investment in scaling.
