The key word here is DX. If a team is exposed to how the DX of their owned service or library enables others in the company to build things that bring smiles to customers' faces, they'll be able to better design for their downstream teams' experiences, finding the right balance of keeping API churn low while building for future flexibility. This is true whether the API boundary is over a network or over a function call.

That said, microservices have the added problem that if you don't get the culture and boundaries set just right from the beginning, it's harder to change. They're good for small domains where boundaries are defined, and many even-early-stage startups have some of those, but it's unlikely that the primary interface for customers is included in that.
