Why can't you do this without BTRFS/LXD and just with Docker/OCI?

Yes, that's certainly possible - especially with tools like kind. However, the reason I prefer LXD over Docker/OCI is that the former behaves more like a full OS. LXD containers are system containers which are like VMs except for the lack of guest kernel. So it allows me to experiment with some K8s deployment configurations that's needed on a proper cluster.

How is this different than a Docker/OCI container/cgroup thingie?
