I enjoy Kubernetes because it weeds me out from all the people who aren't used to actually having to read docs to understand the layered concepts of k8s as a networking model, of which there can be multiple opensource Implementations.
The opsys bros I know who are used to hacking together docker-composes that are more insecure than your grandmother's internet explorer browser in 30 seconds, slapping a json parsing logger on it and calling themselves geniuses fail miserably when they are left to design construct and optimise secure kubernetes clusters and elegantly port a variety of full stack web applications in a cost efficient manner.
It requires planning and design. Just because you haven't invested hundreds of hours into reading the docs and testing, and building k8s clusters for which the docs are incredibly useful doesn't mean you have to attack the verbage, just read the docs. If you can't do that then maybe your best investing your criticism into a domain of expertise you're actually knowledgeable and/or experienced in.
Also "kind" represents the type of k8s object, like service or deployment. It's not ambiguous at all, it just requires reading to the third paragraph of "general Kubernetes concepts" in the Kubernetes docs to understand it.
