In my humble opinion because there is so much money and marketing behind it. If you go attend the OSS summit all the cloud players are sending evangelizers and having the whole conference to be about Kbuernetes.
Then a lot of people drink the koolaid and apply it everywhere / feel they're behind if they aren't in Kubernetes.
We are not in Kubernetes and have multiple datacenters with thousands of VMs/containers. We are doing just fine with the boring consul/systemd/ansible set up we have. We also have somethings running in Containers but not much.
Funnily enough at the OSS summit I had a couple of chats with people in the big companies (AWS, Netflix, etc.) and they themselves have the majority of their workflows in boring VMs. Just like us.
