I feel you. I learned K8s with an employer where some well intentioned but misguided back end developers decided that their YAML deployments should ALL be templated and moved into Helm charts. It was bittersweet to say the least, learning all the power of K8s but having to argue and feel like an alien for saying that templating everything was definitely not going to make everything easier on the long term.
Then again they had like 6 developers and 30 services deployed and wanted to go "micro front end" on top of it. So they clearly had misunderstood the whole thing. CTO had a whole spiel on how "microservices" were a silver bullet and all.
I didn't last long there but they paid me to learn some amazing stuff. Which, in retrospect, they also taught me a bunch of lessons on how not to do things.
