It’s actually much simpler than that

k8s makes it easier to build over engineered architectures for applications that don’t need that level of complexity

So while you are correct that it is not actually that difficult to learn and implement K8S it’s also almost always completely unnecessary even at the largest scale

given that you can do the largest scale stuff without it and you should do most small scale stuff without it, the number of people for whom all of the risks and costs balancr out is much smaller than the amount that it has been promoted and pushed

And given the fact that orchestration layers are a critical part of infrastructure, handing over or changing the data environment relationship in a multilayer computing environment to such an extent is a non-trivial one-way door
