So this reinvents devcontainers? https://containers.dev

Why should we use yours? What does it do better or differently?

While this is true, this project seems to wrap it up in a CLI package for starting and stopping projects. Whereas starting devcontainers, at least as far as I have seen, is always done via VSCode or IDE, so while it technically could be called CLI too, would be a lot more complicated than this project.

The devcontainers cli has existed for a while. Definitely not as smooth as using with vscode but it has all the main points.

TIL.

I'm not proponent of installing nodejs apps globally, npm install -g or yarn install -g

There is also a CLI for dev containers. I use it for unattended builds.
