I understand that Kubernetes is a complex project, but I struggle to see how this comment adds to the discourse.

For those that do need a solution like Kubernetes, charts like this are helpful, and the knowledge requirements certainly aren't too steep relative to comparable platforms.

What about Kubernetes makes it especially worth going in and commenting that you don't have a use case for it, in a thread dedicated to Kubernetes? Would you make similar comments about other platforms/libraries/technologies that you, for whatever reason, don't have a use case for?

Because echo chambers need their bubble's pierced every so often. Kubernetes is such garbage that no one runs it on their servers and if they do they have an army dedicated to managing it 24/7. Go to any company that's running it and ask them how they feel about it.
Because many people (including managers) take HN seriously and then go and try to implement or push for this being implemented because they read it on HN. Unfortunately they cannot go to HN when a outage explodes in their face, caused by an unknown problem in k8s. There is no clear value proposition for using k8s. It is trading time to figure out what would make the most sense for a project for black box complexity in most cases and that is a very bad deal. You pay the price once for the first one and all the time for the second one. If I do not comment here then you have a nice echo chamber that all fine and dandy with k8s and there is no downside at all using it. Btw. it is not only k8s and HN supposed to be a discussion site not a fanboy club of broken tech. I understand that the latter is much more appealing to many people.
