I think using word "misleading" is also "misleading". Dragonfly hides complexity. Docker hid complexity of managing cgroups and deploying applications. S3 hid complexity of writing into separate disks. But you do not call S3 or minio misleading because they store stuff similarly to how disk stores files. Dragonfly hides complexity of managing bunch of processes on the same instance and the outcome of this is a cheaper production stack. What do you think has higher effective memory capacity on c6gn.16xlarge: a single process using all the memory or 40 processes which you need to provision independently?
