This criticism seems like a complete non-sequitur to me.
This criticism seems like a complete non-sequitur to me. They didn't claim that Shopify, Github and Stack Overflow scaled to millions of users with 4 engineers each. Is the implication that, because Netflix and those companies both had to hire more engineers to scale, the decision between monoliths and microservices has no impact on a 4-person team? I genuinely don't understand what you're trying to imply. Based on my experience microservices do introduce additional fixed costs compared to monoliths (and these costs can be too expensive for small teams), so everything you've quoted makes complete sense.
