"who fought against Kubernetes adoption because it was "too complex", only to slowly reinvent Kubernetes badly,"

If you are dynamically scaling a set of web services sure. The problem is that people use k8s for running batch pipelines and streaming analytic services and a bunch of other things too. And k8s is terrible at doing those things and entirely too complex. And if you don't have to scale your web services very often, then k8s is a waste in that case too. Its a right tool for the job and k8s's job isn't deploying to the cloud, its dynamically scaling a website.
