We don't have to--you can generate the markup language with a scripting language and end up with something that is quite a lot cleaner. I've been toying around with Starlark as a yaml generator for Docker Compose, CloudFormation, and Kubernetes. This ends up working out a lot more nicely in practice than Helm's templating solution or CloudFormation's nested stacks.
