Well that's pretty astounding. I work on a service at a Very Large Company that intercepts each docker container as it passes into our production-deployable repos and it inspects about 100 containers per hour. This isn't every build, it's every actual prod deployment. Mind you, we have lot of services doing deployments, but the ones that aren't using docker are in the vast, vast minority.
I think one thing docker brings you is consistency. At our level of scale, you can't be doing "pip install"s on random hosts or you'd never be able to say what state everything is in. Docker isn't the only way to do this, of course, but it's one way. And I'm super happy that other teams the produce tools built on piles of python now package them as docker containers on a standard base so I can just run them rather than spend a day untangle my completely-hosed python environment every few months.
