Instead of minutia, I’m just going to mention the few reasons that really sold me on containers.
Security: Being able to host external services that only have access to the folders I map to it.
Compartmentalization: I can specify exactly what resources I want to limit/control for each individual service. I.E. stacking a VPN on top of services for a 100% guaranteed Killswitch.
Automation: Docker is an incredible tool for automatically restarting services whenever they hit a snag and keeping your services up to date with the latest version.
