10^5 machines cost $100M, at which point you are a huge enterprise who can afford to pay people to customize your system.

10^5 is also on the low end of hyperscale. I'd bet that google/amazon have high single-digit millions of machines.
So yes, big companies can afford to pay people to customize their systems, and do so. The infra teams at these places are enormous, even just counting job orchestration.
The argument upthread (mine) is that the companies do so, and that kubernetes is the wrong choice for them. As a result, they don't really contribute to it.
That's exactly what I'm saying. And not "can". Have to. Kubernetes or not-Kubernetes isn't the problem that huge enterprises ever have.
