Right, and since this is so easy software distribution is a solved problem, bugs don't exist and tools like containers, VMs, package managers, app stores etc were never developed because they are totally unnecessary. In particular, this thread does not exist and I never wrote this.

Well, didn't say it's easy but if you app supports containers, CI becomes a lot easier.

You only have to test 1 system configuration and you can easily script building your app based on this configuration.

My life is certainly easier since I've packaged several apps into docker containers, even if it was a pain to get started on that.
