I read this article and the original one.

I don't see any reasoning besides "I think it's not really needed".

The reasoning in the original article is shallow at best, and the presented alternatives are not discussed in the depth I was expecting for an article questioning the whole architectural basis of a very popular IaC stack.

On the second article, I don't see a self critique of the actual points raised during the original article.

The two articles sound much like a collection of statements based on personal opinion.

I see the value in an article like this for starting a discussion but not into taking any sort of conclusion.
