The point of Docker is the standardized container/management interface. Of course you can write your own, but then it's not too standardized is it?

What you describe is standardizing complexity where a simple solution is available. Naturally, when feasible, I prefer keeping things simple and straightforward enough that standardization is unnecessary.

Standardization for the sake of standardization is not defensible.
