How do you figure that deploying 5 services vs 100 is the same cost? Also how do you take into account maintenance and configuration of each individual service

How do you figure that deploying 5 services vs 100 is the same cost?
Also how do you take into account maintenance and configuration of each individual service and tying them together as a whole?
From my experience, even at large enterprise scale, microservices have been a hinderance at the very least when compared to entrenched monoliths.
The effort to keep all the individual pieces working properly and harmoniously has never been worth it in any situation I've personally been in.

The configuration complexity would probably depend a lot on what exactly those services do. For example - if they are all tomcat containers - with standard integration endpoints then there would be diminishing cost associated with each additional node/service deployment.
