No it doesn't. They're at different abstraction layers.
Containers are more convenient form of generic code/data packaging and isolation primitives.
llamafile is the code/data that you want to run.
Equivalent poor analogy: Why does JPEG XL exists? I can just put a base64 representation of a PNG image in a data URL inside a HTML file inside a ZIP file; I can also bundle more stuff this way! JPEG XL is useless! No one should use JPEG XL! Other use cases that use JPEG XL by themselves are invalid!
