Shouldn't containers or VMs solve these problems?

No since the hardware changes over time, such as the video and audio hardware, and VMs don't prioritize emulating those anyway.

wouldn't that depend on which VM you are using?

I agree. They used to say there would never be an Amiga emulator because of all the custom chips it had.

But there are quite a few Amiga emulators now.
