We at OpDemand have been working on Deis (and its proprietary predecessor) long before Dokku, Flynn or even Docker existed. Also as jpetazzo mentioned, Dokku is not really a PaaS but rather a single server Heroku-style deployment system. Flynn is still in planning stages AFAIK.

Are you equating Deis/Flynn with a static site generator? If so, you're dramatically underestimating the amount of work required to build a distributed PaaS that can support production applications. The difference in LOE between Dokku and Deis/Flynn is exponential.
