It's not that. The tech is not a solution for everyone's problems to begin with. It's a purely commercial tech made in an attempt to compete with Amazon and sell you stuff. It's very lock-iny, expensive to leave and is crippled on purpose, to make you buy services from Google. Barrier of entry for competition is high too, so it will be pricey.

Kubernetes is the absolute opposite of everything you said. Open source, cloud agnostic, cloud optional..., it literally abstracts the hardware so you are not locked in. You can run it anywhere.

What features of Kubernetes are only available for a price? Since Kubernetes is fully open source and self hosted/available from any cloud provider now, how is it crippled?

What I meant is you can't get GKE/GCP level experience on bare metal.
