I've been a professional programmer since the late 1990s. What I observe is that many people flocked to microservices because they had only known monoliths and they were sick of the limitations inherent to them. Now we have a generation of engineers who have only known (or been taught) microservices and a backlash has developed because they are sick of the limitations inherent to them. This is my reading of the anti-OOP / anti-inheritance movement as well. To spice up Bjarne Stroustrup (inventor of c++), "There are only two kinds of programming languages: those that don't make it and those that people bitch about."
