We stopped making microscopic microservices but we still ship services. Services are deployable independently from each other, can be scaled independently from each other. A monolith that results in a single build artifact / executable or whose contents must all run in a single pod or application server is inherently harder for larger teams to work on. Deploying a small change means re-deploying your entire application. Scaling your authz system means scaling up your analytics data producers. Separating your code into services that run and deploy independently from each other means organizations can scale without creating headaches for developers.
