Sure, there are better primitives within AWS for doing X, like running a containerized service, but k8s is more than that. Coupling to k8s is significantly more portable than a cloud provider's API. I can run the entire stack locally. I can run on GKE and EKS and my metal and your metal.
It's a powerful abstraction and it's very liberating.
I understand the cynicism, don't get me wrong, but that doesn't mean it's all bad. It definitely feels like a net positive to society even if at times it's unbearable.
