Why not use libvirtd, which does all that and a lot more, and is already
present on just about every Linux distro? (more than likely already _running_
on every Linux machine, if you are using virt or containers)

This is just a guess, but I believe it's because of what you just said; "
_running_ on every Linux machine". Docker runs on more than Linux, and you
need a solution that can manage containers everywhere.

Fair enough, but libvirtd is written in C and reasonably portable and the
project already ports all the client side stuff to Windows (so the project is
not against portability patches, unlike, say, systemd-machined).

Libvirtd has been around for 10 years so it's likely to be less buggy and
better maintained than anything you can write from scratch.
