bootc would be more attractive for this theming use-case, if there's a 1-line method to spin up a graphical VM straight from the docker file.

I looked into it, but it looks like that you need to manually build the image and fiddle around with qemu.

Yeah, a VM or just filesystem snapshots make much more sense.

Containers are so easy so people just started using them for every use case, even when it doesn't necessarily make the most sense.
