The problem is that managers at small companies with some, but insufficient, technical knowledge also read these articles and think they need to do the same. I come across overengineereed stuff at small companies all the time for things they don't need but only do because it's what Google/Facebook is doing.

Managers typically either want things done yesterday and would see this as wasteful over-engineering, or would be delegating and trusting a senior or staff engineer if they said this was truly necessary.
