runC is literally the abstraction layer docker wrote internally on top of linux containers! It exists as a separate layer now because they spun it out precisely to freeze the API and enable other efforts like runj.

And runj, IIRC (though I'm not an expert in the space) wasn't a trivial 1:1 thing and required changes to the underlying jails layer to enable it.
