I think services became really popular from Amazon, and that quickly went to microservices IMHO. It's perhaps analogous to say: "That's what Amazon does. Seems to work fine for them". It's very interesting there are big techs now with well known monoliths vs Amazon services. Though, Amazon's services are so that any internally useful tool can be externally exposed and then rented out to generate more revenue. The reasons/benefits are very different compared to say decoupling or the other reasons given for service orientated architectures.
