I doubt it. Mercurial and Git were both designed with the exact same
project in mind (the Linux kernel), and both are used by both large
and small projects. So I think it's just a matter how each team
prefers to work. Hg defaults to making things public and Git defaults
to making things private. I don't see an obvious big/small dichotomy
here, and I think experience shows that there isn't one. I think it's
just personal preference.

Personally I don't care what the default is, as long as the SCM makes
it easy for me to choose how I want to work.
