    as a developer that care about good design patterns, i always use unity with zenject as DI container.

    zenject is sometimes that does not get any updates anymore.

    recently i saw that unity official netcode tutorial uses VContainer. does it mean that its the standard Container and suggested by the unity?

    No, it's not official. The demo team simply chose VContainer to plug the shortcomings of the default engine architecture. However, it is a nod towards the solution as being a viable one.

    No. Unity most likely picked it because it's the only actively developed free open source dependency injector. Like you noticed Zenject (and the fork of it Extenject) have been abandoned. There is the paid asset Init(args) but they wouldn't be able to freely distribute that with a demo project.
