If the solutions are indeed overly complicated, then eventually natural selection will weed them out, assuming that eventually the supply of money funneled into these things becomes limited. There's a precedent for this in the way that mid-2000s startups eschewed the heavyweight J2EE and/or "object request broker" architectures for simpler HTTP calls.

But whether or not they're overly complicated, I think the reason why these things are grating is because they're less fun than coding up solutions to problems 15-20 years ago. Configuring containers is a pure exercise in versioning hell, and with the emergence of devops, it's impossible for developers to avoid.
