It's interesting that I've heard this argument repeatedly from people in the Docker world, yet rarely from those who have experience of implementing it in multiple organizations (I do).

The philosohpical arguments drift away as the money is saved, and the code moves to a microservices architecture anyway as the rank and file 'get it'.

In any case, the intention is not to run everything in a container, but simply get from A (snowflake servers) to B (something useful in a container).

In short, if 'doing it wrong' saves your business a ton of money, then I'm not sure how wrong that is.
