Containerization is easier said than done, especially with no hardware support. Ultimately you have to make compromises to keep it performant (remember this is on 386/68030 class hardware) and those compromises come back to bite you. Containerization also has a memory penalty, and memory was precious back in those days. Remember that early web browsers were heavy criticized for running poorly on less than 8MB of RAM.

Isolation is a very hard problem, and it's even harder when you're running on top of hardware and operating systems that prioritized features and speed over security for decades - certainly due in part to users who had similar priorities and/or were unwilling to pay more for security and reliability.
