That doesn't really count as it's a proprietary service controlled by a single service provider.

That assertion doesn't pass muster because a) you're assuming generalized and widespread inexperience and/or incompetence and b) you're assuming that not being able to learn how to use a service is a permanent state of affairs.
Meanwhile, back in the real world cluster autoscaling works well and does in fact let users shut down nodes they are not using which otherwise would have to be up and cost real money. Kubernetes is the reason why this feature is available to the general public. Until a better alternative appears, Kubernetes is by far the best and only option available to the whole industry.

It does, because in the same time the corporation could have used the tech stack they are familiar with, focusing on the product, which would directly improve their revenue. In most cases I've been consulting, the move to Kubernetes was strictly pushed by people who did not understand that for their use case it made absolutely no difference and only brought a lot of complexity to their table, which then turned into a year of two of consulting costs and even more operational work they previously had to maintain the new tech stack. Lose-Lose situation. > Kubernetes is by far the best and only option available to the whole industry. No it isin't. And the sooner people understand that the better.
