Binary distribution, versioning and checksumming shouldn't need to be coupled to a particular format.
Obviously docker solves a bunch of disparate problems. That's kind of the objection.
Static binaries are great but they don't solve every problem and they do to have to.
The vast majority of usecases don't need kubernetes, that's fine too.
You don't have to bash kubernetes because you don't specifically need it for your one use case.
There are plenty of other perfectly valid reasons to bash that dogpile.
