This is because you don't manage K8s and don't deal with this complexity. Google does.
Now, imagine a case where suddenly one pod can't ping another, but packets flow okay in reverse direction. The cost suddenly goes up from "writing a few YAML files" to "debugging CNI".

That is, if you want to depend on other companies to provide your infrastructure. Which is perfectly reasonable business decision, but the opposite (self-managed bare-metal colocated servers) is also perfectly reasonable.
