> I don't want to write all of my backend in C++. I use Java or Python instead. Thousand reasons: maven/pip, portability etc.

Is this really a good excuse with containers being used so frequently?

Maven/pip is still a good excuse. I don't want to wait x months until a new release of some library lands in Debian repos.

Portability – not so much, but then it saves you so much headache because switching from 16.04 to 18.04 should not break anything in your system.
