Yet it doesn't even come close to a fraction of the adoption scale of containers, no matter how good it is. Ecosystems matter more than individual quality.

I think that's a gross overstatement. Ecosystems matter, yes. But they don't matter more than quality.

I think Betamax might have something to say about that.

That's because some interested parties have advertised containers, because they are good to sell as pre-built stuff, nice to sell VPS and alike etc, while pure IaC is useful for anyone and invite NOT to be dependent on third party platforms.

It's not a technical matter, it's a human, economical matter and actually... Most people are poor, following the largest scale means following poverty not a good thing.
