I think it's just one of those things that people tend to use when they actually don't need something that complex. It seems to have supplanted a lot of other tools in domains where you're not doing dynamic scaling or any of the other things it's really good at. If you already know it then fine - use a hammer to crack a nut. But I get the feeling that it's the first port of call for people who probably suffer the learning curve without really getting anything much in return. But I think another way to express my original point would be "Being an uncritical advocate for K8s positively correlates with having a tendency to overcomplicate things".
