Testable hypothesis: People who don't like Kubernetes also didn't like VMware back in the day. It has the same massive complexity underneath, indeed even more than K8s in my opinion. It requires high level of training to operate. It's expensive.
Yet virtually every large enterprise has adopted VMware, and a lot of small ones as well. The reason is that companies (a) no longer really cared where individual apps were running and (b) it allowed far better resource efficiency that using standalone hosts. Kubernetes has a lot of the same properties, just for distributed applications. That's also why VMware is all-in as a business on Kubernetes.
