Containers are now ubiquitous and people wanted their systems to be similarly easy? Silverblue/similar immutable OSes fizzled out and people started trying NixOS? Probably many factors, to be honest.
Personally, I needed a new OS for my gaming computer, and I decided to experiment with NixOS after having tried Silverblue in the past.
Don't forget that silverblue in the launch was a pain in the ass, because of applications not adopting portals and flatpak, so you needed to layer a lot of things, that wouldn't work because it uses /usr (that's read only) or scripts that do the same thing, since them a lot of things got modernized
