You've just described Qubes OS!


Except that QubesOS uses VMs for their security benefits, which are greater than those of containers.

Containers make a lot of sense to me on servers ("deploy a controlled environment"), but often on Desktop I feel like they are used as a solution to "I don't know how to handle dependencies" or "My dependencies are so unstable that it is impossible to install them system-wide", both of which should be solved by making slightly better software.
