I think we can draw parallels between C and Kubernetes - C can be an ideal tool for some stuff, and it's theoretically possible to write a secure program in C.

However, there's a reason why people keep saying that it's practically impossible to write C securely. C provides so many gotchas and footguns that it's not even funny. Unless your problem space really demands it, there's not much reason to use C other than "I love to live dangerously."

Similarly, Kubernetes can be an ideal choice for some people. It may even be an OK choice for some others. But there are many for whom there's no reason to use k8s other than "another shiny item on my resume."
