I wouldn't say that's quite the same thing, and people _absolutely do_ over engineer/encapsulate their code today. In my own, admittedly limited experience, it seems to me that the biggest win with microservices are realized when you have large teams working independently. There is a complexity overhead that, in my opinion, isn't justified for most apps being worked on by small teams. That said, I don't hold a hard opinion here; I don't have enough experience with them yet. I'm open to having my mind changed.
