It's human nature. People want to do what the "pros" are doing disregarding skill level, needs, experience. You can see it in the gym where people emulate their favorite's bodybuilders routine even though they weigh 110lbs soaking wet and have less testosterone than a mouse. SRE is the same. DevOps, microservices fall in the same bucket. The irony of course is big companies, the ones that really need DevOps, microservices architecture etc sometimes have the hardest time to adopt new ideas to leverage them. Case in point, I work in a large FinTech company, we are talking multi-billions. 2015 small group wanted DevOps, I became that, only now, 5 years later the greater part of the company is starting to adopt it. I'm still giving presentations on VM vs Docker differences. While at the same time the team that wanted DevOps deploys to production Openshift clusters multiple times a day.
