I don't know about "ceded". The container execution environment wasn't a very defensible position. People recognized very quickly that Docker's execution environment was a very thin layer over existing Linux kernel functionality. At my company in 2013, we launched our own internal container containerization about the same time Docker came out, based on LXC. That said, I agree about a higher level PaaS-style offering being a better fit for most companies.
