Indeed, microservices is mostly about scaling development.

  Microservices is changing dev complexity to ops. That's why most companies are promoting devs to do ops . So then you have devops

    It think in ways this is true. Containerization, autoscaling, service discovery, tracing, metrics and monitoring et al - lot of it is required to do larger scale, distributed systems. Even if you do not call them microservices.

  Modular programming as well.

  This is nonsense. You can already do that via libraries. The choice of RPC vs local procedure calls has no effect on scaling development. IMO the only reason to use micro-services is the one they mentioned - you can have different parts of your system running on different machines so they can be spun up independently. But I think most people aren't "web scale" enough to need that anyway.
