I've noticed that if developers can't run their code in some hand-crafted one-off buggy inconsistent mutable local environment, they freak. To the point that they're fine with using some proxy to a remote K8s cluster as long as their application code is executing locally. My guess is they fear a lack of control, and a local environment makes them feel safer, like they aren't stumbling in the dark trying to figure out how to make an app work. Most developers don't really understand the cloud at all, and that lack of understanding combined with their local env baggage is half the reason DevOps people are necessary. If devs adopted cloud native workflows, a lot of shit would be easier for everyone. It would even lead to better designs. Devs think the cloud works like their desktop, when really it's a radically different model for system design. I mean, there still devs who assume their app will use a filesystem to store data, lol!
