They add a lot of overhead and require extra tooling to stay up to date in a maintainable way. At a certain scale that overhead becomes worth it, but it takes a long time to reach that scale. Lots of new companies will debate which architecture to adopt to start a project, but if you're starting a brand new project it's probably too early to benefit from the extra overhead of micro architectures.

Of course there are pros and cons to everything, don't rely on memes for making architecture decisions.

It's just not worth it until your monolith reaches a certain size and complexity. Micro services always require more maintenance, devops, tooling, artifact registries, version syncing, etc. Monoliths eventually reach a point where they are so complicated that it becomes worth it to split it up and are worth the extra overhead of micro services, but that takes a while to get there, and a company will be pretty successful by the time they reach that scale.

The main reason monoliths get a bad rap is because a lot of those projects are just poorly structured and designed. Following the micro service pattern doesn't guarantee a cleaner project across the entire stack and IMO a poorly designed micro service architecture is harder to maintain than a poorly designed monolith because you have wildly out of sync projects that are all implemented slightly differently making bugs harder to find and fix and deployments harder to coordinate.

Do they think movies play in real time? What do they think when there's a scene change?

Have almost a decade on ya and waiting for this to happen. I'm happy when I fall asleep at midnight.

The younger generation really is smarter

Apk literally stands for Android package. I'm making an analogy. 🤦

So to put this in perspective, at an average cost of 10 cents per LEGO this set would cost over 4 million dollars.

That's fine. Just charge them way more when they beg you to fix the mess they made for themselves. This exact thing has happened many times already in the very short history of computing.

Is that not custom hardware? I really don't see any issue with how they built this thing. The issue is what they built.

Depends on which part is altered. Lots of Linux distros are just curated collections of software, drivers, and configuration. You can easily achieve your OS goals without touching the code of the base distro at all. If they didn't need to modify the base code then there's nothing to distribute back. That would be like distributing your personal OS power user config settings. If you're not touching source there's nothing to contribute.
