It's not my kind of boring, although I sort of see what you're saying.
It presents a simple facade, but it's built on complex infrastructure you have no way to have any visibility into. So when things go wrong it's a nightmare.
To me boring tech means super simple, KISS to the extreme. Something I can diagnose fully when necessary without any layers of complexity (let alone proprietary complexity I can't access) standing in the way.
