Great overview of the test pyramids :)
I completely share your thoughts about the need of having some e2e tests which cover all the layer of the system.
Having e2e is important to make sure all the pieces work nicely together (configs, certificates, throttling, etc).
This is definitely something you can only test by running the whole stack.
In many cases though, there is an abuse of e2e and integration tests for what apparently seem to be a lack of abstraction in the system.
In other cases, it s about not being accostumed to a richer set of testing strategies which can speed up the development process when used in the right context.
For example, I am pretty sure that lots of integration tests I wrote couple of years ago, could ve been contract tests XD
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
