The problem lies with the "just needs to dockerize his application" part. These days I see many developers regularly servicing Docker containers where they rather should be adding value to the product they're creating. It almost seems as if Docker has become an end in itself rather than just a means. In some ways with Docker you also only move concerns from one layer to another. While in the past you had to manage dependencies on the target machine you now have to manage Docker dependencies and environments on that machine on top of the dependency management for your application.

Fair point. Again it is the call that the developer has to take depending upon certain parameters. If he is shipping multiple applications built with Python with one requiring Python 2.7 and the other requiring Python 3.4. He has to somehow make sure that both the application will run peacefully together or he can just create two docker images on his machine one contains Python2.7 installed and the other contains Python 3.0 installed and deploy it the docker way without any hassle. At the end of the day it is the call he has to take depending upon how much time each of the flow is going to consume and which one makes his life easy.
