From a skills perspective, the vendor lock-in still bothers me on a personal level.

What's interesting about learning to push the right buttons on one company's black box, especially when I know it's likely powered by or equivalent to familiar F/OSS?

It’s not about what is interesting; it’s about what is productive. Kubernetes is interesting but I would not launch a project in it at a scale smaller than say 20M USD/year hosting costs because you’ll probably be able to make a higher quality project in a faster time if you use hosted/3rd party solutions

An engineer's choice of where to work or what skills to develop is definitely (in part) about what is interesting.
