In fact, here are 347 containers with 0 documentation whatsoever:

The point is that there are hassio addons which do not have any regular docker counterpart, and for the ones that do, there is little to no documentation that gets them actually integrated into the Home Assistant sidebar. They work as their own separate entities and can communicate, sure. Sometimes that is even more desired. What if I want ESPHome as an item in the home assistant sidebar? I have yet to find a guide on how to do that.
How can you get the Home Assistant Google Drive Backup working in docker compose as another example? Extremely useful and only available in HAOS or supervised. Yes there are workarounds and other services, but they are workarounds and other services
I didn't meant the addon container just a regular container. If you don't use HAOS, then don't use their containers, use these instead:
Well, moving the goalposts, but exactly, it doesn't solve the problem at all that I talked about.
Again, it is completely fine if people want separate services, but there is currently seemingly no documented way to tightly integrate services into homeassistent to be able to be used within homeassistant via containers.
