Because a Docker config makes it hard to accidentally wipe your filesystem instead of building a Docker image. Shell scripts make that less difficult (and any solution using shell to do something similar to Docker will have a bespoke layer of in-house code that should be correct but will require maintenance by your team to make sure nobody makes a change that turns it into a filesystem-eater).
