It's best to think of Docker containers as mini virtual machines. They let you have a system that always boots up in the same state. Thats not really possible with standalone apps because the state of the OS is not isolated, even changes to the PATH can easily screw things up. The problem is 10x worse in Linux with all its distros and that's where Docker was invented. Try making a standalone app in Linux and you're soon looking into flatpaks and AppImages which have their own problems.
