Containers and Kubernetes are not as standard as we'd like to think. They're standard for things of certain size, but for small-to-medium there are a good amount of serverless options. For a moderately sized website, it's easier to just stick the thing in Vercel than having to deal with the complexity of Kubernetes. Of course, once you grow then you do need that complexity, but I'm willing to bet that many people who got onboard into it don't actually need it, they just did it because everyone else is doing it.
