Try to run something that requires php7 and something else that requires php8 on the same web server; or python 2 and python 3.
You actually can, but it's not pretty.
(The thing about a declarative setup isn't much of a difference, you can do it for any popular Linux distro.)
Doesn't that mean that docker containers use up much more resources since you're installing numerous instances & versions of each program like PHP?
Oh, sure, the bloat on your images requires resources from the host.
There is the option of sharing things. But, obviously that conflicts a bit with maintaining your environments isolated.
