To clarify I'm obviously saying you need to make your development practices as good as they can be (specification, testing, deployment, dependancies, reviews, documentation etc.) rather than thinking microfrontends will solve your issues. I didn't really mean perfect if you want to be that pedantic.

>>> it's harder to deploy monoliths

Evidence? I argue and have seen repeatedly that duplicating across services/frontends the work of "upgrade paths [...], deprecating packages [...], testing and debugging" as well as styles, databases, configuration, and most importantly transactions/shared state causes all kinds of problems.

You state that everyone chooses a sensible path to splitting up software, I'm saying they don't, they go straight to drinking the whole bottle of cool aid and almost never seem to take reasonable approaches to balance the needs of transactionality or simplicity in their systems and instead go straight to full on architecture astronaughting.
