I rarely see anyone claiming that microservices are never justified. I think the general attitude toward them is due to the amount of Resume Driven Development

  Eh, I think a lot more of it is caused by optimism than RDD - people who haven't _tried to do it_ look at the mess they've got, and they can see that if it were divided into domain-based services it would be less of a mess. And the process seems almost straightforward until you _actually try to do it_, and find out that it's actually fractally difficult - by that point you've committed your organization and your reputation to the task, and "hey, that was a mistake, oops" _after_ you've sunk that kind of organizational resources into such a project is a kind of professional suicide.
