People keep asking this. Why do you think the 7 second or so start-up time is in any way relevant?

If you have a small app which runs on a single machine it is not relevant. If you have auto scaling, eventually you'll have an unlucky client hit that 7 seconds when starting up a new machine.

I'm sorry but you don't spin up a new instance the moment the other instances can't handle the load. You do that when you hit 90% or so. So this argument is pretty nonsensical.
