That's exactly the summary of this.

That said, it makes sense from a developer POV; if, during development, you don't need the isolation you can run multiple containers (with on paper fast boot times and minimal overhead) on your development box.

There's plenty of cases to imagine where you need the containerization but not necessarily the isolation.

That what I do. I use https://github.com/jrz/container-shell so my projects are contained, and I'm a little bit protected against supply chain attacks

Why not use bubblelwrap or selinux or something? Docker is overkill for this.

Haven’t heard about bubblewrap, and I’m on my macOS. But I’ll look into it for inspiration
