Isn't that what the people crying over their deleted or leaked data were doing too?

VMs and containers are primarily useful to reduce maintenance burden anyway. I.e. if it fails or you're otherwise done with it, you can torch the container instead of having to clean up your host system from zillion no longer relevant packages and configs.

To be honest I do this too. Nag mode is kind of a pita.
