If you're using a K8S cluster just to deploy a few web apps then it's not really a platform that you could provide to an engineering team within a medium-large company. You could probably run your stuff on ECS.
While I love ECS you're not giving k8s enough credit. Nearly every COTS (common off the self) app has a helm chart, hardly any provide direct ECS support. If I want a simple kafka cluster or zookeeper cluster there's a supported helm chart for that, nothing is provided for ECS, you have to make that yourself.

It's really not about what I do and do not do with Kubernetes. It's on you to justify your "millions upon millions lines of code" claim because it is so outlandish and detached from reality that it says more about your work than about Kubernetes.
I repeat: I only need a few dozen lines of kustomize scripts to release whole web apps. Simple code. Easy peasy. What mess are you doing to require "millions upon millions" lines of code?
Please don't deflect the question. You claimed you need millions and millions of LoC to get something running on Kubernetes. I stated the fact that I have multiple apps running in my personal Kubernetes cluster and they only require a couple of dozen lines of Kustomize. You are the one complaining about complexity where apparently no one else sees it. Either you're able to back up your claims, or you can't. I don't think you can, actually, and I think that's why you are deflecting questions. In fact, I'd go as far as to claim you have zero experience with Kubernetes, and you're just parroting cliches.
