The containers still run an OS, have proprietary application code on them, and have memory that probably contains other user's data in it. Not saying it's likely, but containers don't really fix much in the way of gaining privileged access to steal information.

It's like wearing 2 helmets. If 1 helmet is good, imagine the protection of 2 helmets!
