I'm a dude who uses Kubernetes to make pizzas. Kubeternetes is absolutely a commercial bakery class machine, but much of it's adoption is due to the fact that for just a bit more in price and effort, you can have that class of machine in your home and run real things on it.

Seriously: I run clusters from a few dozen nodes (down from a few hundred at my peak, sigh) down to a trio of Raspberry Pis in my living room. They're overkill by a little bit, but not by much. And it's definitely my ambition to make the tooling even easier and even more powerful, such that every small home can run something with enterprise level reliability.

I'd say Kubernetes was more like having a lathe in your shed. Almost no-one needs one but it sure does make some projects a lot easier.
I just got one and not sure I need it. The lathe always seemed so dangerous to me.
Of topic but having a lathe in my shed is a definite life goal.
