Agreed, but I have seen numerous times (I contract and see a lot of shops inhouse) that employees suggest microservices as architecture from the start for new projects. I have a strong feeling this is CV driven development, a.k.a "its trendy and I need skills in this field to stay relevant on the job market".
I joined a shop where that was the case. We invested time in reintegrating services back into the monolith. A number of them could be replaced with ~100 lines of ruby.
