I think it's the same line of thinking as RISC and CISC (reduced/complex instruction set computer). There's no such thing as a RISC machine or a CISC machine, all computer ISAs live on a spectrum that can be described as RISC-like or CISC-like.

There's no such thing as a micro service or a macro service (in terms of there being a perfect delineation). They're simply terms to describe certain design goals. Any given service might have several qualities that can be described as befitting a macro or a micro service.

It's all too easy to fall into the no true scotsman trap.
