Pirates of the Caribbean had them before the MCU.

This. I remember people saying "stick around after the credits, there's a bonus scene". And that's the first time I can remember talk of something like that which was back in 2003 so i'd say they started the modern versions of it at least.

Short little one. A shot of the bookstore selling Gilderoy Lockhart’s latest title, “Who Am I?” as he mumbles in a straitjacket on the cover.

That's probably when they started to become popular, I agree, like as a fad. And particarly among series.

There are plenty of older movies that have them though, as one-off jokes or something. Ferris Bueller's Day Off had one, I know, and I'm sure there were others before that.
