A distributed system will never be as intuitive as MS Word, which is basically the digitized version of stone tables, or papyrus, or whatever thousands of years old thing we are already familiar with.
Or just remain a bit more strict and look at typewriters. Word is a typewriter. People look at typewriters and sort of understand them after pushing one-two buttons. Yes, there are hidden gems and details and a long road from mechanical typewriters to Word and laser printers (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRCNenhcvpw ), but people are a lot more intuitive about these pieces of hardware and software, because they are simply updates on existing tech.
Distributed systems is a new, and hitherto an explicitly unknown concept for many people.
And with minikube you can set up k8s as easily as MS Office. (Or you can use Typhoon https://typhoon.psdn.io .. )
Or you can run it on your own PC with minikube and Virtualbox/KVM/qemu, and similarly you can install Office locally. But it does not make sense for one and it increasingly makes less for the other too.

And it's trivial to package up all this into a website, like Office 365 and GKE https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/ .
