Because the larger the population, the more coordination of resources is required. A tiered government structure is the most efficient way to do this. Logistics for a city are very different than logistics for a continent.
And this was before globalization/industrialization too. What worked for societies thousands of years ago isn’t a good indicator of what would work now.
But ultimately humans are the problem. The larger the population, the easier it is for bad actors to create positions of power.
Am not familiar with with logistics but arent they already ran decentralized?

I agree. History has shown us repeatedly that bad actors will always eventually find a way to get into positions of power. We reject political authority because we want to break out of the endless cycle of wars, man-made famines and genocides.
I dont see why it couldn’t scale up beyond just 5 million
