Well first of all, I'm not the enterprise :) They are fiiiiiiiine with building from scratch. They love building rocket ships when they really just needed a wheelbarrow. It's kind of a problem. My point is more like, a lot of the time we don't need a PaaS, we just need to do less "integrating", if cloud providers all implemented the equivalent of Terraform providers. But going further, that we shouldn't need to use K8s if the operating system came with similar functionality and exposed it as an ABI. All these things would let you "build from scratch" distributed parallelized network services, with a lot less layers of technology, in a more standard way. Rather than building a spaceship just to run errands, we could be cruising around on city rental bikes, or golf carts, or something. This comparison might have gone off the rails.
