Kubernetes is a framework, it'll take a long time to die, it will likely contort itself into fitting whatever paradigm is needed.

However, I wonder what you mean? Kubernetes from where I sit has almost complete ubiquity across most companies. Even in places where it's a poor fit.

People starting to put abstractions over it means a) there's a chance people will start asking for a given abstraction rather than Kubernetes, and not care if that abstraction eventually subsumes or replaces Kubernetes, b) at least some people think Kubernetes is enough of a nuisance to deal with to be looking for alternatives.

Whether that means Kubernetes is dying, I'm not so sure. But Kubernetes is extremely complex for a lot of workloads that it's total overkill for, so I'm not surprised people are looking for options.
