Aren't most k8s users not cloud providers?

It's more about good abstractions and APIs for running applications in the cloud. Cloud providers are the one's offering the APIs and abstractions we use, and increasingly putting k8s abst/apis at the forefront, because that is where industry has moved to

People and companies use it because it makes this easier in several areas, it's industry standard at this point.

Can you explain why we should be reluctant to use k8s?

Plenty of companies/teams qualify as "cloud providers" even though all the usage is internal.
