I'm a little confused by this part:

This executable is theoretically runnable on all major platforms without fuss. And the Docker container that we build with it [...]

It sounds like they're putting an APE inside a Docker container, but why would you want both?

Because some people throw a tantrum if it doesn't come pre-dockerized, I suppose

No, they build the APE with a docker container. The APE itself is... actually portable.

We do both. We also deploy a Docker container that runs scrapscript.com

perhaps to integrate with tooling that wants to work with containers

Yep, to deploy on fly.io
