I don't think people have a choice. If you join a company where they use kubernetes, you have to use that technology for everything. You can't escape the complexity even if you just want to make a simple program. It still needs to run in kubernetes.
Depends on who you think the people are.
CTOs, technical team leads and such can make those decisions. And devs can also suggest migrating to simpler solutions.
If a tech giant like Amazon can do it like they did with Prime Video, I don't think it's impossible other companies can do so too.
Yes but in practice, companies don't want to replace their entire tech stacks, and specially if it's a large company. It costs an enormous amount of money (because of the time and effort it takes) and means the entire company has to relearn how to work with that stack instead.
It's not impossible and it can happen, but in my experience from working at probably 20 companies now, there is almost always a strong resistence to change.
People don't even change their default search engine or browser most of the time.
"hello OPS-team. Here is my simple program. Have fun running it on your kubernetes"
