Actually on topic! Taking that hypothesis you have on kubernetes, check this out... The Cybernetic Hypothesis book discusses a philosophical/systems-thinking/governance obsession with the importance of "steering" or "piloting." Foucault taught a class on in it in the 80's prior to his death. The train of logic is interest in steering all systems that could be steered for <various reasons> led to a natural interest in cybernetics, as the automation offered a way to codify or "steer" this systems. Kubernetes <- derived from the greek "kubernesis," "the action of piloting a vessel." You're highlighting, I think to the extent I'm still grokking this all myself, a common counterpoint to cybernetic thinking - it offers a way to steer things, but often doesn't address core questions like "well who is steering this, why do we want to steer this, what other answer is there beyond efficiency for efficiency's sake?"
