I see, I assumed logically Kubernetes as a community would want to keep thing simple and keep it same across scale. For large scale there could be different variations (like switching storage backend) but for small/low scale tier keep it dead simple. I am guessing there were valid reasons for the offshoots (k3s, microk8s etc.).
