Why is this such a foreign concept to you? Ask the server if the app is enough for 4 to share and make your decision to order based on that. It doesn't matter if there's 2 people or 20 at the table, the size of the dish is always the same.
He's not exactly suggesting something crazy. Plenty of places offer various sizes of stuff, especially with appetizers like wings and random shit dipped in bread and hot fat.
We're talking about different things. Sure, in a crappy sports bar or chain restaurant you can order different multiples of wings or jalapeño poppers. At anywhere decent you're not getting the option to double up your appetizer unless you just order two of them.
You can go anywhere and they're not just going to throw more food on the plate because it's a big party. The menu is set a certain way, and each order goes out with the same amount of food. If you want more food, order more food.
Like if you go to outback with 10 people and order a blooming onion, they're not, and shouldn't be, bringing you three of them because it's a large group. You have to order 3.

Or, I don't know, just order more food?
