Don't disagree, but we just avoid writing stuff where you need to have 10+ apps running locally to run "an app". That itself isn't sustainable architecture, those should be one app in a monolith.
That being said, to your point, we do have some inter-service dependencies that have to run separately. We haven't figured out a good balance yet, but it's the exception not the rule fortunately, and everyone "just knows" how to run an extra app in those extreme cases.
