It sounds like you're paraphrasing the great Steven Jobs: "You're holding it wrong"

Be that as it may, I believe mirkules's issue is not an uncommon one. Perhaps saying "building a microservice architecture 'the right way' is a complex and subtle challenge" would capture a bit of what both of you are saying.

Something being complex and therefor easy to mess up does not mean it's a great system and the users are dumb, especially if there are other (less complicated, less easy to mess up) ways to complete the task.

Supporting API versioning is not a complex or subtle challenge. It's actually a very basic requirement of a microservice architecture. It's like having to test null pointers: it requires additional work but it's still a very basic requirement if you don't want your app to blow up in your face.
