  Because all popular articles are about multi million tps at bigtech scale, and everybody thinks they're big tech somehow.

    That's the original problem, but then there are the secondary effects. Some of the people who made decision on that basis write blog posts about what they did, and then those blog posts end up on StackOverflow etc, and eventually it just becomes "this is how we do it by default" orthodoxy without much conscious reasoning involved - it's just a safe bet to do what works for everybody else even if it's not optimal.
