DDD enforces seperation also. It's about code quality, microservices are easy replaceable. Modules are too. With both systems, the core part ( eg. mesh, Infrastructure, ... ) Is crucial. I think experienced developers can see this, the ones that actually delivered products and had big code changes. The ones that handled their "legacy" code. Microservices are just a way to enforce it, there are others. None are perfect or bad, both have their use-case.
