What? This comment seems ridiculous to me. They aren't a panacea and aren't right in all circumstances, but they have plenty of technical advantages. You can write code for different services in different languages / on different stacks, prototype using a new language/technology/stack with a small piece of the overall application, develop and deploy in parallel more easily, if one component fails it's less likely to bring down the whole application, gives you more freedom to scale if certain components of an application require more resources or different types of resources than others.... That's off the top of my head. These all come with tradeoffs of course, but to say they bring nothing to the table is absurd.
