> At the technical and organizational scale of modern enterprises, the complexity of orchestrating distributed systems is unavoidable.

We continue to make things much more complex than they need to be. Even better when NON "enterprise" applications also buy into the insane complexity because they feel like they have to (but they have nowhere near the resources to manage that complexity).
That would be difficult (impossible?) to prove. But if the claim is not true, a much easier thing would be to show an example of a large enterprise which did not introduce distributed processing. Is there one? I've not heard of that. Even basics like auth eventually require SSO if you want to preserve your sanity, and that's a distributed system.
