All of it responds to your original comment which was your statement that it contributed nothing except padded resumes.

I stated several things it contributed -even if you think it's too complex-.

If you don't understand why people use k8s you don't understand the problems it solves. Especially if you think ECS is a substitute.

The thing you stated is that k8s allows people to easily deploy across different cloud providers due to lack of vendor lock in. k8s doesn't because nobody uses it for that - the cost of getting it tunning compared to simpler alternatives removes all value from the cross-platform abilities. That's why k8s is a DevOps meme.
