To clarify my point, I don't think Kubernetes doesn't solve those problems at all, sure it'll probably get the job done. But it's a bit like bringing a jackhammer to drill a nail. Think about it this way, if you worked backwards from those customer needs, would you really come up with the behemoth that is Kubernetes? And for complexity, sure me and you (the type of people on HackerNews) can probably handle the complexity but for many others its too much, and even I think its needlessly complex.
