Sure, having a lot of VM knowledge is also irrelevant unless you're building your own cloud platform too. *
Again, most people don't need to build their own cloud platform.
Being able to reuse Docker files is nice, you've reinvented CFengine for the eighth time. That's great.
The point is Docker is yet another standard way to build boxes and contain them. Serverless / FaaS platforms obviate that need.
* obviously an isolated kernel is better than a shared one, but the point of this post (and this comment) is that Docker vs VM vs MicroVMs vs zones etc is irrelevant for companies who are not cloud providers
