Call me old-fashioned but I don't find this "easier". Maybe it's easier in the same way that Kubernetes itself is easier than managing VMs and container deployments at massive scale without such a tool. But there's a vast chasm between what this tool is being sold as and what it actually is.
Heavily biased a kube admin but make kube clusters is easy now - its literally one command (aws eks create-cluster/gcp ... something something haven't done it in awhile after doing it multiple times a day in a past life) - I think its more familiarity with the tools that is the challenge - creating a vm is also easy if you know how, brew/apt/yum install is easy if you know how, setup.exe is easy etc)
