That is a simplification - even Facebook runs sshd inside its containers.

I know what you are saying - that an atomic unit of work is the program itself..But we run stuff under supervisord even if it is a single program. It helps us to make quick debugging changes to scripts,etc and "restart" them without restarting the container.

In theory it seems the same - in practice it is not. This is the reason for the existence of tons of different init tools for docker.

BTW, I had trouble understanding what you meant because you are constantly moving from docker-as-an-application-unit concept (which is reasonably true) to systemd-nspawn-is-better-than-docker (which is something I am not generally opinionated about).
