It's odd to say you don't need docker when you use systemd to solve a lot of the same problems. It's not that you don't need what docker provides, it's that you're getting it elsewhere. It's not like systemd is far less complex, either.
Docker containers are really just bundled-up processes. Once you move beyond things that come in statically linked binaries, it's nice to have a common packaging format, especially one that has such an expansive ecosystem and buy-in from every major cloud provider.
