Say this in an interview and its a perfect way to fail, even though its true. Its sad how interviewers often take pleasure in pointing out that anything said outside their packets is a signal for lack of technical knowledge. I've been in and passed several tech interviews. I've also interviewed plenty of people, if someone points out the human aspect of a problem, I actually award points. Sad how often I have to fight with my colleagues.

"But what about using a message queue.."

"Candidate did not use microservices.."

"Lacks knowledge of graph databases.." (you know, because I took a training last week ergo it must be the solution).

I've found presenting arguments from both sides, i.e. presenting the tradeoff, to be effective in interviews. Especially because if the team I'm considering doesn't recognize the tradeoffs, then I can avoid joining up with them.
