> How did the world get into this situation where you need all this complexity just to deploy and configure not even an application, but part of an application? Amazing!
Because everyone else is doing it.
Things have gotten so complex that we need complex solutions, but w're afraid to make and own the solution ourselves because of cost, focus on core business or recruitment/knowledge concerns. So we need to find the next best open source solution to leverage the collaborative effort to reduce time and cost and have a large community to fall back on for support. And because everyone jumps on board of the same train all use cases must/will be accounted for (else the solution will fade into a niche), meaning the solutions becomes a problem in and of itself.

Repeating the cycle once again.
