> True, but this is why it shouldn't be bashed either. When you need it, you need it (cue very complex enterprise applications with SLA requirements). To support this, look at how many people criticize Kubernetes as being too focused on what huge companies need instead of what their small company needs. Kubernetes still has its place, but some peoples expectations may be misplaced. For a side project, or anything low traffic with low reliability requirements, a simple VPS or share hosting suffices. Wordpress and PHP are still massively popular despite React and Node.js existing. Someone who runs a site off of shared hosting with Wordpress can have a very different vision about what their business/sideproject/etc will accomplish compared to someone who writes a custom application with a "modern" stack.
