Ah, you're using it to mean "no virtualization". Got it, thanks.

I tend to use the term to mean single-tenant, user-supplied OS, non-virtualized myself but I see where you're coming from.

All of that may be true as well - if the user picks the underlying OS (i.e. kernel) to run the container engine and installs on bare metal, then literally everything you wrote applies.

My workstation runs multiple processes in multiple namespaces without containers. Is it bare metal? What if I install applications via flatpak? Still bare metal? Now what if I use docker?
