Yes, the most concrete issue the article mentions is losing data on Btrfs, but that is well known to be a flaky, semi-experimental file system, the operating system has very little to do with it. The equivalent would be running Debian on ext4

Also, the article mentions Kubernetes a few times, which quite fairly has a reputation for massive complexity, but is again entirely optional, and a piece of software entirely separate from the operating system.

I agree with the basic point of achieving reliability by using the simplest technology available, but the focus on the operating system for me is misguided here, and at best a temporary fix. If BSD were to catch on for that reason, Kubernetes would be ported to BSD, and the same problem would arise there
