I really wish you had used a regular service definition when testing KinD. The omission reduces the usefulness of your comparison. I want to choose a local k8s cluster that is as close to production as possible. And I want my local deployment configs to be as close as possible to production.

You say that "ingress in kind is a little trickier than in the above platforms" with no explanation.

I feel disappointed and frustrated. :(

Sure. I cheated. I specifically didn't feel like setting up extraPortMappings (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kind/issues/808), and then create an ingress controller (https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/ingress/). Not difficult, just not turnkey availability like the other two.
