One advantage of containers is that run lots of software with it. Take old Perl application, wrap it in container, and then run in the cloud. Keep that old binary application that somehow lost the source for.
Also, I think most uses of containers lose the advantage of WASM. WASM is about running on any platform, great for browsers and serverless. But containers are usually run in controlled environment where can compile once and not pay the penalty of compiling each time.
