Why has “table stakes” become such a popular phrase in the last 12-24 months?

Has it?

It is a gambling term, most VC funded startups are gambles, AI ones particularly so, it felt apt.

perhaps it correlates to a raise in investing that no longer is based on sound fundamentals in both traditional and new age assets(like crypto) perhaps makes people identify more with gambling.
