Maybe so, but you won't be affected by this outage if you never decided to deploy k8s in the first place. Even if you deploy k8s privately, or over at Amazon, I think there's enough horror stories to make you think twice about the technology. Then, if it isn't going to be k8s for microservices, what's a more reliable alternative?
