If I've read the Google papers on borg right (Kubernetes is conceptually borg v3 with omega being v2) this is different from how Google runs the things.
They'll do warehouse scale computing with borg operating large clusters. borg is at the bottom.
The workloads spanning dev, test, and prod then run on these clusters. By having large clusters with lots of things running on them they get high utilization of the hardware and need less hardware.
It's amusing to see k8s used in such a different way and one that often uses a lot more hardware while driving up costs. Concepts Google used to lower the cost.
Or, maybe I read the papers and book wrong.
I like the idea of higher utilization and better efficiency because it uses less resources which is more green.
