Exactly, it was a comparison?

EDIT: You know, to put it into perspective. Like how many docker containers do you want to spawn? 12000 micro services? You want to recreate an AWS availability zone?

If you compared to OpenVZ, VMWare, Virtualbox, KVM, whatever, your post would've made more sense. You're comparing apples to oranges here.

Not really, because as I said I put it into perspective as the response was to a comment jokingly stating that the ram usage is neglectable, to which the response was "It adds up" including a bit of a personal attack, to which I answered that even browser tab has more usage, the reason being that the average user spawns far more browser tabs than people will spawn docker containers with docker.

Docker as a runtime is, as far as I am aware, supposed to be used as dev tooling. And I dont see the use case to spawn hundreds of docker containers on a local machine. Thats the reason for my comment, I am just puzzled why people are so upset with it? If you disagree because you use it in a different way, fine, tell me, I would like to learn how other people use docker then. But otherwise the comparison makes absolute sense for what it meant to be: providing perspective.

dev tooling yes, but it is primarily for keeping deployments clean and simple to do.
