There is a very big difference from being a user of K8s and being someone maintaining a K8s cluster.
If you are a user of K8s, then yeah, deploying apps is pretty simple most of the time.
Maintaining a K8s cluster on the other hand becomes very complex and hard the moment you have use cases that are a few steps off the happy path. The K8s documentation is not sufficient for operating a K8s cluster on your own hardware, you end up having to go spelunking in the code to see how things work this is from experience).
