I like your take on this. I think K8s offers a _lot_ and it has a bad reputation because of its early days. Kubernetes has room to improve, like everything else, but the API now are becoming a lot easier to work with and the Custom Resources allows folks to extend Kubernetes.

I still think that projects like this one come from necessity. Folks want to have an alternative for vendor lock-in.

I'm building something like that too (https://github.com/pier-oliviert/sequencer) for Kubernetes, and it's also out of necessity.

Vercel, Heroku and others have a lot of helpful tools that are empower developers, and I think people want to have those without being locked-in.

It goes without saying that I'm totally bias :)
