Something I noticed with most of those shows I watched, is that the owners boasted on how much money they were saving, but they didn't have their own land to keep the tiny houses on. Many of them were either renting a plot, or keeping the house on land owned by other family members. Essentially, doesn't that make these tiny houses just another form of mobile home?
There was one episode however, that built a tiny house I really did like. The owners were building on land they already owned, a vineyard if I remember correctly. This tiny house was built with a permanent foundation and was about the size of a large one bedroom apartment. It also had a good sized outdoor space overlooking their property. It really was a functional and nice property that I could see working for someone who doesn't need much living space. I see this container housing project being very similar to this type of build.

Except that tiny homes are "tiny" - usually 500 to 800 sq ft. These homes that MK is talking about are 2,000 sq ft. which is not tiny.
