I mean, if that's feasible, sure. The problem is there's plenty of businesses that simply can't or won't justify the work to make a couple monoliths. Often there's dozens of microservices because there's dozens of acquisitions that nobody is willing to invest any money in; the microservices are hipster business glue.
If they were run by smart people they'd realize that the cost of maintenance for dozens of new microservices to wrap around a bunch of shitty legacy acquisitions is far more expensive than just refactoring the legacy apps (or tearing out chunks and shoving them in other products, or making brand new products out of one or two features). But try telling some C-level bozos from an industry that knows nothing about tech that.
