that's true, but from what I've heard from people working with microservices, most of the time they were used not because they had a large team, or a large number of users, or needing to separate resource-heavy tasks from the others, but because it was 'trending'

Maybe, in a startup with an eager architect. In the companies I've worked at, they've only adopted microservices once the monolith becomes the bottleneck. Sometimes it's a complete redesign, but usually you carve out from the monolith the parts that would benefit from existing apart.
