As an example, and this is one thing, if I need to build the kernel with some latest security feature in gcc to get some of the KSPP functionality I can't do that with modularity. Because so much of what IoT is doing is in a very small package set and is focused on a combination of removing as much as possible while tightening things down this not something that is achievable with modularity. The apps in containers are certainly able to make use of that, and I'm in particular the various versions of nodejs I'm sure will be used in IoT as there's a lot if IoT things that make use of nodejs.
