In the enterprise I see this all the time. Step one of the project is lets look at kubernetes or whatever is hot lately. Even for something stupid with 10k users max. What they actually need is a 30 line terraform script and a preconfigured AMI.
This is why I used to throw things into simple kubernetes setups (that I just ran the same terraform scripts to create) and just tell the management "yeah, now it's ready for all of your features".
I argued for a while, then realized I didn't have to.
