Could you point out a reason why education, which can be standardized at least to a state scale¹, cannot be standardized to the state scale utilizing oral defenses? Also, can be ≠ is. Not everything is a startup lol

You said it can be fundamentally different, and of course it can. But “it doesn’t scale” isn’t an argument by itself. In many areas, scale actually creates efficiencies. You’d need to explain what specifically about the larger scale makes the Danish approach unworkable in the U.S

If in person exams are seemingly impossible in US due to scale, we have to conclude that before internet US had no education?

For parallelizable workloads it scales just fine, and giving exams is perfectly parallelizable. Any good programmer would know that.
