Because lots of startup die for not having customers enough (or at all!), but I haven’t heard of any died because at first was not able to scale millions of users.

If your definition of dying includes getting bought for $40M then maybe dying isn't such a bad thing.

Dying from lack of customers looks completely different.

Pennies on the dollar after the audience had already left. I'd call that dying.
