Sure. If you’re going through the trouble of containerizing your program and then compiling it into an executable, then you might as well just compile your program to an executable directly to begin with. Also, a system-specific executable is literally the antithesis of containerization. I know that over the years the programming landscape has evolved to the point that Docker has become yet another commonplace tool that newer devs don’t think much about and just see as a means of distributing code, and to be fair not a lot of people really groked it in the early days either, but this is truly unnecessary.

It's much nicer targeting Linux only from a developer standpoint than all 3 popular operating systems and all of the security vulnerabilities and toolchains and quirks for each. If you have the luxury of having a robust build pipeline for all of your targets with absolute confidence you're convering all of your bases then I applaud you. But from a developer and an end user point of view, if all I need to pursue is one download, regardless of platform, and that executable bootstraps itself and works, we would all be happier.
