I was about to make the same point. I hear you though. In my case CI/CD, application framework, programming language, etc. was common. We manage to shoot ourselves in the foot multiple times because (a) our CI/CD was _way_ too smart, allowing for _way_ to many things to happen for us (SRE team) in non-standard ways and (b) Helm (Duh!) ... allows you to put deployment logic in there which leads to a mess.
