This is actually a great teaching tool. Firebase (my team) uses them for in person code labs. It's a huge time saver to know that everyone already has access to a Linux machine with the developer tools and helps the class jump right in

Honestly, the decision to lock down to a golden path smells more to me like a way of keeping support responsibilities constrained. What happens if the integrating service has a quirk? Microsoft and that service might argue which service is
