Containers allow different EXEs to leverage different versions of the same DLL, much as the WinSxS folder does. It solves some problems that Windows previously solved, in new ways.
Also it prevents "server bloat", where a web or AD-LDAP server gets incidental utility roles attached, like running scripts or being a bastion/jump-box. You can't really RDP to the container, so you can't update DNS from there.
