It’s unclear if this comment missed the fact that the previous user was using mimicry as a rhetorical device to critique the original poster, or if it was an attempt at 'yes and'-ing by doubling down on the brevity.

Why not? Docker is effectively free on Linux. You only get the performance hit on macOS and Windows (since it runs the containers in a hidden Linux VM).
