The fact that tools like docker, podman and bubblewrap exist and work points out that the OS supports it, but using the OS APIs directly sucks. Otherwise the only "safe" implementations of such features would need a full software VM.

If using software securely was really a priority, everyone would be rustifing everything, and running everything in separated physical machines with restrictive AppArmor, SELinux, TOMOYO and Landlock profiles, with mTLS everywhere.

It turns out that in Security, "availability" is a very important requirement, and "can't run your insecure-by-design system" is a failing grade.
