Yeah, that was a little sloppy but it's generating is more expensive than not generating. In more words, generating an id and validating uniqueness is more expensive than only validating uniqueness.
No one has yet defined the scale but almost all of the real world scenarios people are actually encountering would be handled by either of the offered solutions.
There are better approaches like pre -avoiding collisions but generating tends to be more expensive than checking.
In what world is generating a UUID more expensive than checking for duplicates? at any scale?
Walk me through that please

exactly lmao. that is exactly what is being presented as "scalable <full stop>". sigh.
