Ops from scratch are annoying compared to the theoretical niceness of just pushing up a docker image. Though I think a lot of this is incidental to just not really knowing the deal, and ops from scratch mean you have to make a lot of tiny decisions like "OK how do I get this package over here, how do I set it up, do I wipe the VM on OS-level udpates, do I need scripts for resetting the machine..." Having pre-made decisions for a bunch of questions means you aren't spending a bunch of time on tedious stuff when starting up a project.
