So I guess you're saying that microservices are pointless, the real problem is tight coupling?

  Kind of. There's a flood of blog posts (including this one I think) that have conflated the two, probably unintentionally. I'm happy that decoupling their systems worked out well for them. I'm not so happy this is fomenting a new fashion for creating unnecessary network API end points. That isn't to say that you should always combine your services into one big mega-service. Just that dividing up services should be something you do only when it becomes obviously necessary and for good reasons unrelated to coupling.
