Microservices in terms of code organization was always a redundant concept.
You can organize code with functions and namespaces, why do you need hardware to segregate code? It only makes the segregation permanent but offers nothing else beneficial in terms of code organization.
The underlying reasoning was always that developers tend to move outside of boxed software modules if it wasn't enforced by hardware so the modules will end up not being modules but everything will be blurred into monoliths.
I always figured that if you want really hard lines drawn between software modules you can still do the same stuff in software itself, like why do you need actual silicon or VMs/Containers to do it?
The only real need for different services is performance, otherwise all the benefits and downsides of microservices can be replicated in software.
