    1. They kinda suck. They take a long time to launch
    2. They are in practice proprietary to Ubuntu so they are not really FOSS
    3. The draw of Ubuntu it is was based on Debian Testing and therefor pretty stable.
    4. It’s Yet Another Containerization stack. We already have flatpack, app image, chroot jails and more.

    Why would a serious user want a psuedo proprietary Nth app containerization platform that sidesteps a serious incubation chain and has poor performance?
