Space drag should not scale

I understand why space drag exists, but it shouldn't scale much if at all.
The way it stands, if I want to build an ultra wide, short platform over 100 thrusters wide, it will scarcely reach 500km/s. Dealing with all of those extra asteroids is more work that doesn't pay off.
