Discounts on volume deals are yet another thing since a higher volume helps the business exceed the break-even threshold faster. Also, volume deals have a favorable management effort to income ratio compared to single transactions.

Huge numbers reduce manufacturing costs, but only because they justify investments that are uneconomical at lower volumes. The business would still go bankrupt if they don't read breakeven.

Economies of scale are a real thing and not just because of monopolies wanting to deny new incumbents.
