The flipside of that is that the infrastructure, at any given time, might not match your intent, or might be continuously working to try to match your intent, which means the state of the infrastructure often does not match the state of its configuration, which is hell during an incident.
It makes me wonder if declarative, converging systems are actually what we want, or if they're what we ended up with, or if all the alternatives are just worse.
