Since some of the proported features of containers is portability and consistentency/reproducibility between environments, the idea here is that you want to make sure your develop environment is as close to the deployment environment as possible. In addition, if you want to do prototype development, quickly try and test new ideas, and iterate on that, it's nice to go through that without rebuilding and deploying the container to a test/production environment. Do all of that right where you do your development.
