I design all my services expecting to receive sockets this way. It makes sandboxing easy as the service itself doesn't need network access to have a listening socket.
It's a shame docker never supported it. I feel like if they had got on board all those years ago there would be broad support across the software ecosystem for it and we wouldn't need half of these complicated iptables rules and proxies and service mesh. It would be a step towards a capability based system.
