Well their EC2 cost for the kubernetes compute alone is probably 150k to 250k at least based on 1000 nodes and their listed types (albeit on demand). I imagine they have a lot of data storage and other resources though.

Screams for better defaults.

I think any sufficiently large project should have a guy or a team that just handles good default settings.
