To be fair, if you accomplish the same effect without needing distributed computing, then the solution gets much simpler, you cut out worrying about network latency and HA*

* the probability of node failure grows very rapidly with the number of nodes. Same reason you probably don't need RAID for 1 disk, but you definitely do for a dozen

At that scale any blip on the node cut out millions of users? no one sane would do that with a single box.
