That's my main gripe with Helm.
For the simple use case you're describing, Helm is not required. Plenty of other solutions around.
For use cases where it starts getting useful, we both agree that something has gone terribly wrong.
I still don't know why Helm exists. It's a solution that created lots of problems that didn't exist.
