I agree with NC and feldon, ’ve also noticed a dramatic increase of pepper plant production when grown in containers. But I don’t think it’s warmer or ‘hot roots’, but more consistent drainage, especially for cayennes.
I grow pepper plants in white pots in half a day sun and basically see all pepper plants out produce those grown in the ground. What’s confusing is when growing seedlings, you can’t seem to overwater pepper plants, but tomato plants will shrivel. I’ve learned a tomato plant that is drooping needs watered, preferably bottom watered, but too much ‘love’ will cause problems, though when pepper plants are drooping you can’t give them too much H2O.
