> Yup, k8s has a learning curve, just like any new technology.
It's more than the learning curve, though. It also requires resources for itself (the control plane) so it's not really suitable for small projects unless you use a managed offering (which has the same downsides as you mentioned in your second paragraph).
Also you make it sound like all Kubernetes alternatives are 3rd party, paid, hosted services, which is far from the truth.
