VEry good answer, thank you. So in my scenario, I was thinking of packaging our service apps (which run on JVM) and if I make sure that the OS has jvm and all the needed stuff ready. Shipping a package and deploying the service, is just transferring the Docker container and run it. Which happens to be using the same process models as the OS itself. So in other terms, Docker is a convenience layer (a glorified FS abstraction). I am not saying this to undermine the utility, just trying to figure out if it solves more problems then the complexity it brings (which is one more moving part in your toolchain)
