I mean, it does scale with the size of the input. Just not with the count of inputs, but rather the size of each input element.

Or just the size of the largest input?

Oh yeah, I do think setTimeout executes in parallel, so only the largest element determines the execution time. It was difficult enough to make that sentence make sense, so I didn't want to cram that detail in as well. 🙃
