That person seems to be confused. Installing a single, statically linked binary is clearly simpler than managing a container?!

From the article, the goal was not to simplify, but rather to modernize:

Containers offer many benefits. To name some: process isolation, increased security, standardized logging and mature horizontal scalability.

Mightily resisting the urge to be flippant, but all of those benefits were achieved before Docker.

Docker is a (the, in some areas) modern way to do it, but far from the only way.
