This feels like a recurring pattern in the stack. abstraction removes visibility faster than tooling replaces it.
Encryption and higher-level platforms are great for security and productivity, but the debugging surface keeps shrinking. Eventually when something breaks, nobody actually has the layer-by-layer visibility needed to reason about it.
It's not a problem if Network can still do their job. It's a whole other matter to expect Network to do their job through another layer. You end up with organizations that can't maintain their applications and expect magic fixes.
Orgs that are cooperative probably don't have this issue but there are definitely parts of some organizations that when one part takes capability from another they don't give it back in some sort of weird headcount game despite not really wanting to understand Network to a Network level.
