I couldnt tell if you were serious or joking, or a mix of both. I think in part because I had the same reaction when I heard about microservices. I thought:

"Uh... we had that back in the early 2000s at least, they called it SOA back then."

And yes we learned back then how painful and complex that kind of architecture was to reason about and support, compared to a simple monolith.

Monolith is truly king unless obviously you're at FAANG scales. 99%+ of shops are many orders of magnitude below that scale.
