Really? There are plenty of valid criticisms of kubernetes, but this doesn't strike me as one of them. It gives you tons of control over all of this. That's a big part of why it's so complex!

It gives you control via abstractions. That’s fine, and I like K8s personally, but if you don’t understand the underlying fundamentals that it’s controlling, you don’t understand what it’s doing.
IMO, it's rather hard to fully know all of kubernetes and what it's doing, and the kind of person who demands elegance in solutions will hate it.
This mainframe system from the 1990s was so much simpler

even if it wasn't as scalable as Kube. One the other hand, a cluster of 32 CMOS mainframe could handle any commercial computing job that people were doing in the 1990s.
It's not simple but it's not opaque.
