been a while since it's come up but does Darwin support kernel level containerization yet?
Apple should recognize the use case or utility and run with it.

Not yet. Darwin doesn’t support kernel-level containerization like namespaces and cgroups in Linux. Most tooling ends up relying on full VMs (via Apple’s VZ framework) for isolation. Agree though: there's a growing use case Apple could lean into more directly.
Usually they are responsive to these feedbacks, we'll try to mention on a existing GH issue: https://github.com/Developer-Ecosystem-Engineering
