I completely agree. In the highly competitive industry today, ship fast is the goal. I would bet, if we look at the source code of the early versions of those highly successful apps out there, the perfectionists among us would have a lot of negative things to say about them.

I like your point about "before even worrying about being able to serve millions of customers, focus on getting that first customer first" 😀. Although to be fair to the original comment, "scalable" in this context is probably referring to scaling with the growing feature set of the web app. But your idea still translates well to this context—"before worrying about delivering lots of features, focus on shipping out a minimum viable product first with one killer feature".
