Shipping in a container just is "ship[ping] as many [...] dependencies as is technically feasible". It's "all of them except the kernel". The "barest minimum of libraries" is none.
Someone who's using Docker is already doing what you're describing anyway. So why are you scolding them as if they aren't?
I’m scolding the person who says vendoring dependencies is bad… but then uses docker for everything anyways.
