You originally said "I don't see how it's useful", and I observed that some people find it useful.

I'm sorry you've had a bad experience, but it's a bit short-sighted to extrapolate from that to "this is universally useless".

> you also come across as a bit blind about things outside the k8s holy land.

You're not the only one with multiple decades of experience in writing code and managing infrastructure. I've used a lot of the tools in the toolbox, I know when each is likely to be more or less appropriate.

Ah, sorry if I sounded like saying it's universally useless. I know it helps people and more seriously speaking I'm aware of most of what it abstracts. But from where I'm standing it didn't do it well. Top much YAML, and I have to hand-hold it too much. It absolutely can do better at inferring or generating names / IDs, for example.
