Because some stuff is shipped and supported as a docker image and it's just easier to run it via podman which supports nearly all the same options.

Yeah, that is a big drawback. But as mentioned elsewhere and by others, there is `importctl`. So you can ship these images as well. Meaning only one person needs to make that image for others to be able to get the same convenience as pulling a docker image.

I'm unsure if someone has made a tool to convert docker images to systemd. If not, that'd be a pretty handy one.
