I feel like you're speaking past each other. I think you're describing what they happen to be empirically, whereas the parent is describing what they are fundamentally (isolation mechanisms). I'm pretty sure the parent realizes you can't "user" for "container" in the same sentence, and that each one has different use cases and implications... but what is being claimed is a little more abstract than that.

That may be, though I do not think that is the case as the parent made a very narrow qualified statement.
The parent made a specific statement about the security properties of various isolation mechanisms, equating them all from a security perspective.
