I sort-of agree with that, but have also seen the complete opposite. Note that the original tweet is by a consultant - so his clients are prone to hiring consultants. Maybe they just hired a very expensive consultant that really really really sold them on microservices, and no technical person at the company was brave enough to challenge that. I've worked for a company before where just that happened. As a software engineer, it's hard to be more convincing than someone in a suit whose day job it is to be convincing.
