It seems all the rage now. What did people do before and what is
different?

I have one for Dibby for long car journeys but its kept in the living
room and he hides his chews and toys in it. Sometimes he sleeps in it. I
rarely shut him in it, usually when we have workmen in and the doors are
open.

Makes sense! Yes, once we used Cash-pup's 'Cash cave' (as opposed to 'man
cave') that way.

We used to use baby playpens for puppies or keep older dogs confined in
one room with a baby gate.
I'm sure crates have been around for some years , perhaps as travel
crates rather than for indoor use.

Ok! Yes, 'shipping dog containers' been around as long as I can recall.
