A software container is a bit more than a binary or a software package. It also includes the dependencies and the required files. It’s not only a .jar but a .jar with a compatible JVM with the compatible dependencies.

I don’t think that it uses virtualisation on windows or Mac is very bad. I think that it’s an advantage for simplicity that everything is Linux (I pretend that windows containers do not exist).
