Except they are also doing the dev-ops yucky work to do the scaling. It is a lot of extra work with no value until later. Say they are making a crud app. Keep no state in session. Deploy as easily as possible. Boom, done. Later you can add a load balancer to scale to 100 servers. Right now you can run it on 1. It is 'designed to scale'. But actually running your single app in a 1 node k8s cluster? That is days of extra work for nothing right now.
