Distributed systems are always more complex than equivalent monolithic ones. Luckily, it looks like most engineers now understand that microservices mostly make sense for big companies where the biggest issue is distributing work between lots and lots of developers in a sensible way.

I agree with you, that big companies just run so much stuff that it makes sense that there should be a control plane, and thats quite unlike how most microservices are supposed to be architected.

In fact this is not even an 'architecture' but a higher level of organizational layer.
