Why spend the money to buy a shipping container, pay to have it hauled to your house, pay to have windows and doors cut out of it and pay to have custom windows made when you can buy wood and windows at Home Depot and put the same thing together for half the price.
I saw one similar that cost over 30K. No bathroom or kitchen and still over 30K.
I don't know much about the marketing, but they appeal to minimalists as well. I believe a place made out of metal is going to last longer than a traditional wood house, so there's the less maintenance aspect also.

Do the work yourself, fuck paying someone.
Im a woman who cannot hit a nail much less do that kind of work myself.
These container homes are marketed heavily to women and women arent known for their building skills.
