That’s IMO framing things a bit backwards.

That’s how containers are implemented… today. on Linux. On Windows it’s completely different. On MacOS it’s completely different again.

And what makes you think «namespaces» are a term unique to containers? It’s used throughout tech for a million other platforms too.

Containers however is a well defined concept, regardless of how they are implemented today, and on one platform only.

systemd would probably see more use of their container-platform if they put «container» in the name, that much seems obvious to me.
