Its easy to mix up "what seems easier to work with" vs "what's actually easier to work with". Pulling things out to config, splitting into microservices, additional layer of abstraction, rules engines, etc., they seem like they'll be easier to work with at a high level because it gets logic out of the core, but then when you're actually working with them, or worse, when someone else is working with them and doesn't have your context, now there are five places to go look for logic and deciding which piece needs changed, instead of just one obvious place.
