It's more like - there's a bunch of people trying solve business problems while having to work around technology decisions that they don't get to make, then hiring other people that are working on solving the problems created by said choices.
The entire CNCF doesn't solve a single business problem. And I say this while working with K8s since 2016. Not once has a customer thanked me for my tech stack.
You and the parent are probably talking about different people.

Hmm, I disagree with that assertion. Yes, a customer isn't going to thank you for making an investment in depending on open standards. But it's often a worthy investment because it lets you hold other vendors you depend on accountable. I've seen this firsthand with OpenTelemetry and the Observability space, where it's not uncommon for vendors to lock you in and get weird and shitty with you. I'd love to live in a world where that didn't happen, but in this case I think there's a very real business problem being solved.
> Nobody is solving actual business problems.
I think most people are solving business problems and that you're (perhaps justifiably) jaded on the tech side of it.
