Kubernetes isn’t a great example of you can just read it like a document. The resource kind jargon is huge.

Most compose files are small and use familiar linux jargon.

I can give an non-dev IT person a compose file and they can understand every key. I can’t do that with K8s or Quadlet.

You don't have to learn much resource jargon for a quadlet, just the Pod type, and a relatively small subset of it at that (you're not going to be using things like selectors or priority classes). And there's a script that can convert a compose file to a quadlet, so you don't have to do it from scratch.
