I don't know how well Docker works with X11, but just the fact that it would be nearly impossible to make global settings changes would be frustrating as hell.

Having a full Gnome install on every app, a full KDE install on every app. Having to install a given theme into every single docker container.

Maybe I'm missing something. I'm not even sure how this could make sense.

You wouldn't use docker, Flatpak would be the choice for containerized gui applications. I'm not an expert but it looks like the kde and gnome env gets shared between flatpak applications.

This makes a ton more sense. Though I'm not a big fan of flatpack either, it's not quite as crazy weird as using Docker for the works.
