“If they can't bother[ed] to…”

They can’t. Not one developer I have worked with in the last 10 years has lifted a finger in the name of security.

This is why managing containers is a full time job by itself, a specialised discipline.

If you can’t afford an FTE to manage containers you can’t afford containers.

So is managing VMs and devs don't do that either. Every dev I've ever known (and most ops people tbh) have just unthinkingly turned off SELinux the moment it gets in their way. If you're painting an arbitrary distinction between "containers are fully owned by devs who by assumption don't care about security" and "vm's are fully owned by ops who care about security" then you're doing it wrong. It's like ... the whole point of devops mannn.
