Calling a container on the CLI is a pain in the ass.

People generally don’t put stuff that works in whatever environment you’re in on the CLI already into contains. Stuff that doesn’t, of course they do.

Having a convenient shell script wrapper to make that not a pain in the ass, while letting all the environment management stuff still work correctly in a container is convenient.

Writing said wrapper each time, however is a pain in the ass.

Generating one, makes it not such a pain in the ass to use.

So then you get convenient CLI usage of something that needs a container to not be a pain in the ass to install/use.
