Do mean VMs? ISO is a file format, commonly used for VMs and other computers.
For VMs, they did take off and essentially the entire cloud ecosystem runs on mostly VMs behind the scenes for VPS and similar hosting.
It's true though at it seems more popular for developers to reach for containers when they need to think about deployments, particularly docker containers. But VMs are still widely in use and deployed today.
