I suspect it's a learning thing. Which is a shame really because if you want something simple, learning Service, Ingress and Deployment is really not that hard and rewards years of benefits. Plenty of PaaS who will run your cluster for cheap so you don't have to maintain it yourself, like OVH. It really is an imaginary issue with terrible solutions.
