90% couldn't write a good monolith. 90% can't write good micro-services. Both share the same problem of modularity and separation of concerns. One comes with much lower development and operational costs for the competent. The other hides and creates new problems. I've developed on both architectures and there are use cases for each. It's never all or nothing. I can't even imagine how many engineers would be needed now to maintain the solid money making monoliths I've worked on with teams up to 8 over a decade ago. When the money dries up we'll be back on the monolith train.
