Yep, I agree. VMs encompassed the problems that containers address, whereas containers do not encompass the problems that VMs are designed to address at least not in any competitive way. Containers are essentially a finer-grained way to manage dependencies on a VM than the VM itself is. So yeah, I guess I do understand the reason why the comparison gets made. I just don't feel it's a very useful one.
