FWIW docker apps are just regular processes with some additional data structures on the kernel side. If the process(es) in the container aren't scheduled on a CPU (e.g., blocked or sleeping), the app isn't taking any more resources than any other process(es).

Frankly, a container-based app model sounds kinda nice!

even if it's good on battery, managing it on a phone sounds awful though.

I'd imagine that it could be wrapped up as well as .apks now, so you just see and manage a single icon representing the 'app'.
