I think most containers also run "bare metal", they just are more isolated as far as process/memory/fs, etc.

Having worked with and without Docker for various web apps, it removes some dependency management and server setup at the cost of another layer (or two...) of complexity. It's not always worth it to go to containers.

Docker seems to make the most sense in cloud environments that scale horizontally.

What benefits would you get exactly?
