Thanks! I came from the DevOps world too and noticed the same thing. There seems to be a disconnect since most people on the developer side never want to touch networking. Beyond what we put in the post, I think there's a big need for more stuff that brings networking up the stack into a space that is digestible to developers.
Most companies choose between not securely connecting their stuff correctly or having a complete mess of an internal network.
So congratz and all the power to you.
