Unfortunately a lot of people seem to think that they are a substitute for package management. This was obviously (and I do mean very clearly obvious in advance from first principles¹, no hindsight needed) going to become a disaster. Most people just do not care - they are either completely unaware of the problem, or they know that in a few years' time they will either have changed jobs or be promoted (in no small part thanks to their "Docker thought leadership") and it will no longer be their problem (and they would still get to claim "Docker thought leadership" success on their résumés). ¹ Also from experience - VMware came out with "virtual appliances" in the mid-2000s that promised to do a lot of what Docker would later be used for.
