As much as I can sympathize with the fact that sales and PMs tend to invent weird stuff and have weird (and often impossible) deadlines, most of the time it is developers that overcomplicate software.
Also, unlike sales/PMs ideas (well, at least a few of them), those complications created by developers aren't really helping sell the software. Nobody is buying software simply because it has 50 microservices, all the design patterns and needs Kubernetes plus a few thousand-bucks per month of cloud to run.
