Every part of a service mesh could be baked into operating systems so that all this extra technology was just there by default. This would put a fair amount of start-ups out of business, but it would also mean a lot less people having to be hired to set up and maintain all this stuff. Devs could just... develop software, with a clear view into how their apps run at scale. And Ops wouldn't have to custom-integrate 100 different services. This is really the future of distributed parallel computing, but we're still just bolting it on rather than baking it in.
