I think the first people to use that phrase were advocates for it.
You have to remember that a lot of people in the industry have ass-backwards values. A lot of people squee when they see chaos and the more chaos the better. When things are orderly they feel like they are in the Apple '1984' video
It's got a lot to do with why Docker is so popular. Instead of deciding that you're going to use a certain version of libc and a certain version of Java and a certain version of MUI widgets, they take joy in having many different partitions of the system slightly different from others in ways that will cause all sort of problem large and small. If you standardized things you could run multiple tenants with 1/10 the resources you'll waste with Docker, in a just world it would mean you crush the Docker-using competition but unfortunately the Docker-users are often backed by VC which can be irrational longer than you can stay solvent.
