I thought the name for the collection of kernel features was LXC, I didn't realize (until just now) that was the name only for the also-kernel-level wrapper for those features, which name does not cover the features themselves. That is, I didn't realize that LXC is to Cgroups+Namespaces as Libvirt is to KVM—I thought LXC, as a label, covered the whole feature-set—but regardless, it's still married to Linux kernel features and runs on other platforms under virtualization, no?

Actually no. At least on Windows Docker can do native Windows containers too
