Yeah I see a lot of things that could be libraries packaged as services, so now each invocation incur in network latency and every transaction needs a two phase commit. And because each service need its own replica, deployment pipeline, and versioned internal api, production and deployment cost skyrocket

Because, you see, if you surround shit with other shit, that original shit doesn't look quite so bad in comparison. So take your shit monolith, surround it by shit services that distributed it across a shitty network, and now your original self inflicted shit design is just 1/3rd of the shit you gotta deal with. Totally not as bad as it used to be!
