This is Google solving Google-sized problems. I am afraid the rest of the world will look at this and say - "yeah we want to be like Google and adopt this". That is how Kubernetes took over the world.
I find some stuff really distracting. Sometimes I just get a local copy to get them out of my way as most are trivial to fix, but hard/draining to ignore.

I disagree, but I understand why someone would think that, and if I were given an assignment to argue the point then I could probably convince people that K8S is IaaS, too. BUT, I think it's important for us to recognize that K8S is a platform, and by definition, anybody providing you that platform as a service has provided you a PaaS.
Maybe we should just say people don't want IaaS or PaaS, they want Kubernetes as a Managed Platform, or KaaMP! And who doesn't like camp?!
