While I agree, containerization is awesome, on linux, you can just create a devUser and `sudo devUser theThing`

not the same thing. Containerization prevents devUser from accessing your machine root with its root. By containerizing, if devUser tries to sudo or su and gets a root, it will only be their root and not your root. Read up on cgroups.
