Honest question, Kubernets does not helps in closing the gap between AWS and Hetzner Cloud?

I would think that an honest setup supported by k8s would, at least alleviate the need of managed solution?

Are there AWS services without a competitive open source solution deployable in k8s?

Kube removes some of the infrastructure burden of running your own solution but not all of it and that's not the only burden.

For example, I can deploy Kafka on k8s. I still need to know enough about Kafka to be able to deploy it correctly (zookeeper, etc.). I need to know enough about k8s to know how Kafka can run on i and to fix issues. I then need to know enough about Kafka itself to tune it, fix issues, manage it, etc. Then there's interaction events such as upgrades which require coordinating between k8s and Kafka. And in the end I'd still be a novice at all of it.

I would guess that we could just give an external company control over a kube master and have them run their operator, which in turn will spin up all the necessary pods and stuff.

You give a SSH certificate and you get back an IP address in your on-premises / cheap host with Kafka running along with monitors.

Serverless? K8s is explicitly not operating in the same space as triggers and code not bound to any real instances.
