I guess I've just never found this to be true.
My main goal when engineering a solution is always, "Keep It Super Simple (KISS), so that a junior engineer can maintain and evolve it."
Working directly with operating systems, VMs, networking, etc. (purely in Cloud - never on-prem... come on it's 2022!) is the simplest form of engineering and is much easier than most claim.
