I can sympathize with them. I did one project using microservice and tdd with a team of 4 devs. It wasn't my architecture. It takes 6 months to deploy a minimum functionality apps, that I'm confident that with monolith, it'll take 1-2 months to get the same level of functionality. Microservices are very complex, especially if you don't know the domain beforehand. Most of the time, the additional complexity brings more harm than the benefit.
