From the fact that the LoC count of the implementation is beyond "millions".

How about this equivalence: I appreciate how extremely sophisticated GCC is, and the very well optimized output it generates. It is still is 100x more complex internally (and thus, error prone, buggy, more complex to modify when needed) than TinyCC, for instance.

Um, ok. I think you're massively underestimating the LoC of the services mentioned (I would bet significant sums that cumulatively it would exceed a basic k8s deploy).

I'm also not really sure what the relevance of LoC here is though? The Linux Kernel is a large codebase...but surely you don't object to using that?
