Well, yes, because for one thing, Kubernetes (if done correctly) provides HA/failover that did not previously exist.

Is it really more likely to believe that someone who is not otherwise in the PaaS business is going to find it easier to run 5+ nodes of other services instead of, say, two nodes running their application directly for failover/HA?

This is not to say that Kubernetes is bad but … it's a commitment which isn't appropriate for everyone. If you aren't exercising its abilities heavily, that's probably going to be a distraction from more pressing work unless you're scaling up heavily right now.
