Yeah, but not tons of people with a house full of big tanks and hundreds if not thousands of fish.

Realistically in noob fishkeeping most people would probably tell you that you could keep one in a 75g because they really won't get over 20" anytime soon and most don't get over 18" or so in the aquarium. Well trained fish keepers know they need space to roam(and although it may take a long time talking 5 years+) there is a small chance it could get over 18" eventually so that's why 180g is suggested.

So you don't need a monster tank to keep them especially if you're in some small town somewhere and with no one to tell you better.

how do you know that thing is big? if that woodgrain edging stuff is 2" then the dovii is only around 15".

That's not an accurate way to measure because there is no way to tell how close to the glass the fish is. Cameras don't captured depth all that well.
