Commercial container homes are just another type of prefab, and they share many of the advantages of that style, including typically being cheaper in both materials and construction costs and having easy assembly (days instead of months). Being made of steel, they are also more durable and rot/mold resistant than the typical wood-framed houses found throughout much of the US. Many prefab container homes are double-height meaning they actually feel less cramped than a framed home with standard ceiling height. There are pros and cons to all types of building, but I don't think shipping containers are "terrible to use for homes for so many reasons".
