I often wonder, why isn't systemd-nspawn[0] used more often? It's self-described as "chroot on steroids". IME it pretty much lives up to that name. Makes it really easy to containerize things and since it integrates well with systemd you basically don't have to learn new things.
I totally get these are different tools and I don't think nspawn makes docker or podman useless, but I do find it interesting that it isn't more used, especially in things you're using completely locally. Say, your random self-hosted server thing that isn't escaping your LAN (e.g. Jellyfin or anything like this)
