First off- this is great, and I think there are use-cases for this. Being able to even partially isolate could be helpful.
Second, as a user, you’d want to handle the case where some or all of these have been fully compromised. Surreptitiously, super-intelligently, and partially or fully autonomously, one container or many may have access to otherwise isolated networks within homes, corporate networks, or some device in a high security area with access to a nuclear weapons, biological weapons, the electrical grid, our water supply, our food supplies, manufacturing, or even some other key vulnerability we’ve discounted, like a toy.
While providing more isolation is good, there is no amount of caution that can prevent calamity when you give everyone a Pandora’s box. It’s like giving someone a bulletproof jacket to protect them from fox tapeworm cancer or hyper-intelligent, time-traveling, timespace-manipulating super-Ebola.
That said, it’s the world we live in now, where we’re in a race to our demise. So, thanks for the bulletproof jacket.
