Kai,
It is a reality, but when you look at the RHEL target audience, it's not exactly hip devs deploying Docker in the cloud.
Big corps, banks and the like have a very slow development cycle and long term support is absolutely crucial, software needs to run for years on end without glitches, without interruptions, in a very predictable manner etc.
For the aforementioned devs I think the best answer are the software collections, that or just use a different distribution. It is what it is.
