Why not just do all that in a throwaway container?

Hardware virtualization is much more secure.

Not any more it isn't. Rootless non-root containers are about as secure as VMs today.

Last time VT-d virtualization was escaped was in 2006 and done by the Qubes founder herself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Pill_(software)

How is it about the containers?

Container security aka OS virtualization has been quite secure for a while now.

I think you don't understand: Qubes relies on hardware, not software virtualization: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware-assisted_virtualiza...

I think you don't understand. Qubes relies on software virtualization in conjunction with hardware assisted virtualization instruction sets. The aforementioned vulnerability existed in Qubes Xen.
