It depends on the context, I don't know about corporate persons with profit incentives but if we're talking human persons then containers don't solve anything. They're just the symptom of the disease that is future shock. The underlying libraries we depend on just change too fast now and no devs care about forwards compatibility so we end up with all OS/Distros having libs that stop working in about a year (or more like 3 months with Rust/JS/etc).
The solution has to either come in the form of static compilation, or, even less feasible, getting devs to actually care if their software runs on platforms more than a year old. Containers just make everything worse in all cases beyond the contrived "it just worked and I never need to change anything".
