Not necessarily, I am yet to bother using it, and know plenty of environments where Docker still is a foreign word.

Containers should be about security not cloning local development environment.

Why not? One way to use containers is as a light-weight virtual machine without a kernel, which can be pretty useful.

Sandboxes are about security. Containers are about deployment tooling. Some containers happen to include/use sandboxing techniques.

I have used container based technology for about 20 years now, starting with Virtual Vault on HP-UX, and happen to know a couple of things about what containers are supposed to be.
