I haven't delved that deep into containerland but to me, it seems the main downside of using k8s is the complexity of set up and maintenance.

I'm not sure what's stopping people from developing tools to make the whole containerization process invisible to developers who don't need that much control. I'm sure stuff like that already exists/is being worked on, and I don't know why it shouldn't work.

The thing is that k8s != containers. I’ve been using containers for years, but I don’t use k8s in any of my current projects (although that might change at some point)

That’s why I had to stop reading this article. They repeatedly conflate k8s with containers. From the users perspective, one is an extraordinarily complex orchestration framework, and the other is an incredibly simple packaging system.

It’s a classic leaky abstraction, you will need that control at some point. And I say that as a heavy user of Docker and lighter user of Kubernetes.
