My personal theory is that Helm may be ok for distributing a pre-packaged solution to other people. Then people mistook it for a tool that should be used in-house to deploy a company’s own systems, where it makes much less sense.

It makes absolute sense. You can use no variables and still deploy helm chart. It is a directory of plain old yaml objects. And add customization when you need as you evolve. Good luck doing that with kustomize.

Using one of the most horrible templating languages since ASP. Helm is what happens when a devops team decides to yolo into software development.

What's the issue with kustomize? It works well for us.
