It's capability based, so instead of this weird hodgepodge we have in the Linux world that resulted in Docker containers it's natively a part of the OS design.

Also its not GPL, so we will see actual binary drivers instead of GPL <> proprietary shims in Linux that need to be recompiled on kernel upgrade.
So it solves a lot of problems for Google and can replace Android/Chrome OS/Cast OS.

That could be prevented by hardware manufacturers manning up and releasing their source code in full. If the community cared about that hardware, it'd eventually get upstreamed into the kernel, or at least actively maintained as a patchset.
