I wanted <feature> (now lost to the mists of time), but was on Ubuntu 18.04, which only has postgresql-10. So I installed Postgres (13 or 14, I believe) from a PPA and happily used it. When I finally went to upgrade Ubuntu, do-release-upgrade literally bailed out because Postgres was installed[1]. So my choices were: uninstall Postgres for the upgrade, or do something like containerize it. I decided I had had enough problems with non-standard repos and Ubuntu upgrades (e.g. a ton of pain with upgrades of Unifi Contoller + MongoDB + Ubuntu), and containerized it. In comparison to my upgrade to 20.04, my upgrade to 22.04 was much cleaner. If you're going to tell me I should have used VMs or some hosted services, yes, thank you, I don't have the hardware to do so at home and I didn't want to spend more money on the cloud. There are use cases for containers that have nothing to do with chasing buzzwords.
