IMHO ease of development isn't guaranteed with microservices. It's usually a bit more complicated to manage multiple services all coordinating the completion of a single task. Where it does help is to define responsibility, and allow different teams to work without stepping on each others toes. Also, there are cases where microservices would make sense even with one person on the tech team. For instance if you want to scale services independently of each other. For example, your web app isn't used that much, but you get heavy traffic on the mobile API. In that case, maybe having the mobile API as a separate service helps.
