I have a very similar view. But I see more and more companies trying to build a Google-like SRE structure, where the team actually operates more mature services highly critical to the business. Tricky not to become traditional ops teams, but seems doable. SRE becoming bottleneck with scale is something I see a lot. Usually regular product engineers that are more familiar with infra start doing it full-time for all the company.
