I believe that mentality comes from investors/owners/companies and their "hooli" mindset (silicon valley), if you will. All they care about is their bottom line so in turn they drive their products to squeeze as much in as they possibly can.

You can see the repercussions of this in micro apps and the move to containerized environments. These companies are now experiencing the pains of breaking these applications down to make them reasonable to containerize.

I don't blame anyone from the FOSS community either for trying to follow the standards they see in the industry. Large companies have bastardized a lot of our philosophies and we're starting to see a shift of both users and developers (like yourself) that are sick of it and making the changes we need to make progress back to healthy patterns.
