One of the problems with examples like this is that it gives an unrealistic expectation to non-technical people that large & complex sites are actually quite basic. There is a lot of functionality that a typical user never sees and is often where the complexity lies.

And as the "app too busy" error message proves, there is a lot more to a site than it's front end alone and cloning a front end does not clone performance. Good for proof of concepts or low use, non-critical apps but I would hesitate to build a business on one.
