Yes, it scales up well. Importantly, there aren't the barriers of time and distance.

Retail stores are like expensive, high-maintenance sprinkler heads. Each has limited coverage. You have to add more to
cover a larger area, and they require extensive supply lines.

In bricks-and mortar a retailer never knows when he has overbuilt until it's too late.

The same problem exists for Amazon. Exactly the same.
