Although you can get soup from a vending machine in Japan, Japanese vending machines are overwhelmingly beverage based. Finding actual meal vending machines is quite rare.
The soup is usually a canned corn soup, essentially being sold as a beverage. It's pretty tough to call that a meal.

This is absolutely not true. Japanese vending machines aren't about variety, variety is a byproduct of their ubiquity. On my 10 minute walk to work I passed 14 vending machines, one of which was outside a grocery store and that's not counting the two inside the building I was walking to.

This is not new, but more importantly where the fuck would these go?
Even in Japan where vending machines are literally everywhere, food vending machines are less common and hot food vending machines even less so.
And fuck, shitty chain pizza isn't about being good, it's about being conveniently delivered which is more important now than ever.
