I worked on a microservices practice (with over 400 microservices by the time I left) where it definitely was not a "distributed monolith". I could change all kinds of individual services that did not require changes to other services.

I think monoliths can be written the same way such that you can change one module without changing the others. Microservices enforce that best practice.

"Enforce" gets thrown around a lot, but that's approaching silver bullet expectation levels, in my opinion.

A core skill problems on a team that would prevent building a maintainable monolith do not go away because you've added more things for them to manage.
