I think people don't maintain discipline if it isn't forced. So its a round about way of forcing people to maintain boundaries, that wouldn't be needed much of the time if people had stricter development practices.

Exactly. Every single monolithic application I've seen has a utilities package that has classes shared amongst components.

With micro services you could have different versions of those utilities in use which would not be possible in a monolithic app.
