It's certainly a lot easier to do "kubernetes the hard way" than it is to do "Linux from scratch", and I don't see a lot of FUD about how we should stop using Linux because it's too complex. That might seem like an extreme comparison, but I think the number & quality of comparable alternatives is similar between the two.
