I'm guessing you already got an answer for that though when you asked about it.

Could be either "oh you're right let's not do that", or "because we want to design for horizontal scalability rather than vertical in case the demand grows later", or "the client has requested and it's paying for this feature" and so on.

It's because they think it's what you're doing for a large project. Simple as that. There's no future demand, the client doesn't care, and I'm not right because they said so.
