Until one of these advertisements also comes with a provider ecosystem and a universal three-way diff every run, it's a bit pointless to me. The only thing that does what terraform does is OpenTofu, and that's because it's a fork of... terraform. Maybe if you are small enough to just build a single application with some resources in a single vendor's playground all of the other IaC variations make sense, but that's hardly the reality. Either you're going to be part of something bigger, you're big enough to need multiple services, or you're so small that you can go straight back to the 90's and clickops+screenshot your way through the day. While there might not be a one-size-fits-all solution, there is definitely a cutoff where CDK-style or single-vendor tools just can't do what is required.
