I don't think it's a consequence of microservices, I think the problem is as old as the programmable computer. I'm the old paper and even clay tablet processes had to be constantly refactored too.

And a common argument I hear from microservice fanboys is that their old monoliths were suffering from high coupling and low cohesion and that microservices help with that. But I don't see why they couldn't have just refactored their monolith to address the problems they were having.
