Funny, an article got posted here just an hour ago advocating against treating Docker like a package manager: http://vilkeliskis.com/blog/2015/09/23/docker_is_not_a_packa...

I'd be inclined to agree. The reductionist sum of mechanisms that make a Linux container have always been about detaching, multiplexing and partitioning kernel resource subsystems. Docker was the first program that really hyped it into the idea of being about application deployment, but I fear this gives people wrong impressions and makes the mistake of treating an emergent property as if it were a fundamental.

The first part of your post made sense.

I have no idea what point you're trying to convey with the second part. That applications are not business logic over kernel resources is a curious argument to make.
