there is a number of factors to consider when comparing this kind of technologies.
Linux containers provide native performance for almost all applications, true; but there are tons of implications when it comes to multi-tenancy (security, QoS, trusted execution etc.).
Moreover, spawning an application as a docker container can incur significant overhead on startup time, fs setup, FS access etc.
So in theory yes, containers provide native performance. But do we really want to run apps on multi-tenant edge devices as containers ? I would argue not necessarily ;)
