Makes even more sense for an import beer than domestic (and it makes plenty of sense for domestic). Glass is heavy and expensive. More and more breweries are moving to cans. Cheaper to ship them empty and full, safer to work with on the line, preprinted labels that don't come off them wet...
As far as the style, I do agree a little bit, but at this point it seems pretty far game. They have sours in cans, barrel aged stouts in cans... it's not just pilsner anymore.
