Honestly this is probably top-down language usage, not a marketing team. Solomon has been talking about containers with this same wording for years, and he's talked about it on podcasts... etc. Granted, that doesn't mean it's not marketing double-speak. Definitely grandiose in a way that marketing language often is.

[hosh]

I didn't know the founder talked like that. Now the whole bruhaha with CoreOS and rkt makes more sense. I remember a lot of Docker fans were angry about it back then. I think 2016 showed that Docker was increasingly getting out of touch and out of sync.

To me, the leading edge and center of gravity has already moved onto Kubernetes (and the various orchestration systems that is attempting to compete with Kubernetes). Even though the buzz around Docker is still growing, the ideas coming out of the Kubernetes community is what is influencing and leading the containerization technologies. Small movements in Kubernetes will result in large movements around people using Docker.
