The actual reason Docker exists:
Hi I am your customer from BigCorp we are running your software with <unsupported dependency that is 4 major versions out of date> because <other product you have never heard of> requires it. Also our anti-virus keeps deleting some dlls in your product. Why isn't it working?
There is no bottom to corporate IT incompetence...

And what came from this?
"Hi customer, this is BigCorp. You filed a support case about our <software 1> regarding a bug in the webui. We noticed that your container is running on Podman and this is not supported. We only support our container running on Docker. Ticket close/unsupported"
Funfact about <software 2> from BigCorp: It is only supported when running on Podman and they don't support Docker.
And no, I don't make this up, this is a real life example from my work at corporate IT!

Hans Hafner@LariscusObscurus @sjvn but, but, but... isolation.... ?!
DigitalInfinity@DigitalInfinity @LariscusObscurus @sjvn sure... or parallelization ( but that's Isolation again, I guess...)
Anyway, and I forgot to add this: 😉
Also, I'm not an IT professional at all.
Philipp 🇪🇺@LariscusObscurus Your product ships with DLLs?
We got a saying: Who live in a house made of glass should not throw stones.
Windows pun intended 😜
embix@LariscusObscurus @philipp @sjvn Wasn't native AOT a thing now, too? That's probably another fun adventure...
@brezelradar @philipp @sjvn Yes Native AOT is occasionally very useful, especially if you need fast startup times. It puts some limitations around reflection and code generation. You can do some fun stuff with it, like creating a shared library in C# that you can directly load into a C++ application.
