Why not hire an SA? Because K8S is free and runs well from small to large and is available on every cloud where the IT infrastructure already is.

Why is it better to spend money to rebuild a fraction of K8S with a patchwork of infrastructure put together by a single person?

Sales talk. This doesn't reflect reality, sadly.

What's sales talk? What's not reality?

K8S can replace quite a lot of sysadmin responsibilities and is currently doing so at thousands of companies.

IMO the commonality at thousands of these companies is a relatively uncomplicated application stack requirement or micro services.

If you have ever had to talk down execs bitten by the k8s hype in a scientific compute or HPC environment you would know that the marketing and sales talk is both prevalent and damaging.
