"There's a reason microcontrollers are used for tasks like debouncing switches."

Because people are too cheap (or fail that hard at basic analog electronic control) to get a proper single-pole single-throw switch with a pair of MOSFETs in a monostable mode, or use an S-R flip-flop latch to debounce, or even a very simple R-C filter circuit.

"Throw a microcontroller on it and call it a day" is the surest sign of someone not properly educated in electronic engineering.
