They're telling you that because they've been brainwashed with that
idea, and since it's working for them, they're too lazy to try anything
else. But they're wrong. Alpine Linux, for instance, makes Docker
containers a breeze to use, and makes the images a lot smaller.
Alpine is runit-based, and people have also found success running Docker
containers under s6; systemd is very unnecessary, and anyone pretending
it is is either ignorant or malicious.

If you have 1/10 of that budget and are hiring, I'm available
and willing to full-time this. ;)
