Poor analogy. Virtual land is unlimited. You can get your servers quite fast if you need to. Plus being a commodity, prices race to the bottom, and if designed right, you can swap you "landlord" rather easily - move your dockers elsewhere.
Not all of it is accessible (other planets) or fertile (desert)
Not all virtual land is the same, either. Some virtual land is a vendor doing streaming-as-a-service. Some is payment processing-as-a-service. Containers cannot help you regarding the leased farming equipment. No matter what land you move you, you'll still need those third-party services.
