Istio consumes _many_ different types of clients (at the time of writing, 7), as well as informers for each of these.
Additionally, we often need to convert to various different client forms for different libraries we integrate with.

`kube.Client` just bundles these all in one place, so we have a single object to pass around anywhere we need Kubernetes access.
