Aha! You are biased. Same as I am. And it's not about technology.
First, I agree. Within 17 years of my career, I never had a problem where K8s would help. Even with developing cloud apps today, I still don't need it.
Then, I worked at Microsoft with Service Fabric before it became available to users. And it had much more powerful features and a framework. Surprisingly, AWS didn't have an analogue. Nor big corporations who are afraid of the cloud. That's why I'm biased - Azure spoiled me :)
Some corporations have to host things on premise, and K8s is the salvation, no doubts, rare cases. Other corporations are/were scared of the cloud and didn't want to lock-in to a specific vendor - they want a flexibility to save money if a different vendor can offer a better term and a contract.
What would you do as a vendor? You say that you use a standard, which allows to switch vendor any time. This is your weapon against the fear of executives, which make the decision, not developers. Executives don't know that this is not exactly true, but marketing is about perception, not capabilities.
K8s is good for cloud providers to acquire enterprise customers and grow revenue. Thus the hype.
