ok, so you're just using a container with a different name? You can put the single binary in a container and call it a jail if it makes you feel better.

Well yes, but that's the point entirely - you can easily put a binary into a docker container, or a jail, or on a VM. But when something is shipped as 5 different docker containers it is MUCH harder to extract it into something you can run without docker or in a different configuration (like sharing a postgres instance between multiple applications).

One distribution method is flexible and can be deployed however you want, the other prescribes solutions and makes any customization difficult.
