Why do houseplants need the right size pot to grow healthy, but in nature the plant is in a “pot” that is essentially infinitely huge?

Think of it like this, you are a baby in the free world, you have all the space you need to grow. We are predetermined to grow a certain size, so you will grow no matter what.
However, if you were put into a barrel as a baby, eventually you would grow too big for the barrel, but you can’t get out and therefore would suffocate. This is kinda how it is with plants, their roots have plenty of room to grow and expand in the free world, but are very cramped in the wrong sized pot
