Yes, that's their value. You shouldn't need to use them for your development environment or normal every day software.

Unless of course you're saying that most software in the GNU/Linux world is badly behaved, which I'd kind of agree with.

Containers also decrease the likelihood of bad behaviors getting fixed.
