What does "native containers" mean in this context?

> ostree native containers are bootable host images that can also be built and signed with a SLSA provenance attestation

From https://coreos.github.io/rpm-ostree/container/#ostree-native... :

> rpm-ostree inherits work in ostree-rs-ext to create “container native ostree” functionality. This elevates OCI/docker containers to be natively supported as a transport mechanism for bootable operating systems.

I think it means simplification of complexity and unnecessary re-duplication.
