I feel like several of the purported benefits of microservices could be realized in a monolith as well.

Independent development - just stick to your own part of the app.

Reusability - write a library

Isolated deployments and deployment velocity - I suppose not isolated but there’s no reason you can't achieve great velocity with a monolith.

A less often cited advantage that I do think has a lot of merrit is the ability to choose different languages and tools for different problem domains.
