I have never had .NET build issues due to environment inconsistencies across team members. I think NuGet is pretty good at making the dependencies consistent. No need for containers.

I personally appreciate the ability to build on any machine. A newly setup dev machine, or a new build machine, without having to worry about if I all the various dependencies installed for a successful build. Not all of my build dependencies can be handled with nuget.
Having said that, because the .Net toolchain is capable of cross-targeting this feature should enable broad swaths of users to not need to build inside a container to get a container created. So I completely agree with your puzzlement here and would hope that this feature leads to a reduction in that particular pattern.
