Scaling is about resources. If you can handle 16x more traffic with only 4x bigger blocks, then this is somewhat scalable. But we can go even further: if you can handle 100x more traffic, or even 1000x more traffic with only 4x bigger blocks, then this has even better scalability.
It's strange that you count the resources spent in bytes, in "virtual bytes". When all over the world, resources spent are usually assessed in monetary terms.
Now, thanks to the development of technology, a modern computer can process blocks of 10 MB in size without problems and without significant additional costs. (It's time to record this fact and not come back again)
And it turns out that simply by rewriting the code, we can increase the capabilities of the system, which is now valued at ~$700 billion, by 10 times. I repeat, just rewriting the code.
Evaluate the ratio of the results obtained to the resources spent. Isn't this ideal scaling?
