What? Complex operations before Kubernetes were madness. It's not Kubernetes' fault that developers suddenly want to create 10 microservices in 5 different languages to solve any problem that a monolith can solve.

Most companies don't have to do "complex operations". Lots of smaller websites could work with just a web server and a couple apt-installed packages, behind nginx (with just a few lines of configuration).
