People use containers for different things, some of them for the same things they used VMs in the past. This has nothing to do with understanding, just your or the author's preference.

if you are looking for init scripts / systemd / kernel modules / etc in a container, that's not how you should be using a container.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Funny enough, ls is short for list :)

Very true, but it's a well-known command so I wouldn't qualify it as obscure! At this point everyone expects `ls` to display a list of something.

Eye of the beholder. There's a ton of Windows folks that use docker and wouldn't have been exposed to ls before. If they used a command line at all, they're using dir on dos.

Granted, The linux subsystem stuff has expanded it's scope, but there's a few folks I know that have never touched linux and are using docker to run stuff.
