I have the same impression...
Guess that 10-15 years ago the architecture concerns were about framework conceptions, to make development faster and easy (avoiding reinventing the wheel), and componentization. Concepts related to application internals, with no concerns about deployment for example.
My point of view is that the microservices approach seems to be a solution easy to think about applying to our designs, in the way that it could be happened much earlier than nowadays, but we were busy trying to solve other problems, and only with the advent of devops, vertical scaling, etc. there were realized needs to change some architectural concepts...
