Containers is basically a way for devs to get admins out of their way. Rather than have admins complain that something broke when some push-to-prod devs are running amok, said devs can just point to their containerized snowflakes and tell the admins to get lost. The problem is not technical, it is cultural. It is the webdev mentality percolating down the stack, giving the devs the impression that they can just fix their latest API/ABI boondoggle by rapidly pushing another version, like a machinegun fires bullets. It is not surprising that Gnome is one of the biggest pushers of this, as they seem to have and artistic attitude to their code. Just watch them trying to tar en feather Torvalds, as he has told them off many a time for this behavior (a behavior that is strictly not tolerated in kernel land, might i add).
