Is there a particular reason to suggest a change to the architecture?

It's easy to interpret that as "stackoverflow should change to be like this", but I think it was meant to be more like "If I had to guess how stackoverflow works, this is what I think it would look like".
It's amazing how much performance and scalability you can get out of computers, if you don't burden them with 100x overhead caused by shoveling data between microservices all the time :-)

You've taken the opinion of one engineer and used it to denigrate the mindset of all modern (young ?) software engineers.
modernity, the self-definition of a generation about its own technological innovation, governance, and socioeconomics. To participate in modernity was to conceive of one's society as engaging in organizational and knowledge advances that make one's immediate predecessors appear antiquated or, at least, surpassed
In engineering, etc, these days, it usually refers to the idea that a single solution works for all people / use cases. Kubernetes proponents are a great example of current day modernists.
Kubernetes was initially released 9 years ago.
And it's not worlds apart from VM managers like vSphere which is 14 years old.
